Repetition‐dependent acute cardiopulmonary responses during intensity‐matched squats in males
Abstract The ‘strength–endurance continuum’ is a key concept in strength training (ST). Although cardiopulmonary responses have seldom been reported in conjunction with ST, this repeated‐measurement study examined acute blood pressure and haemodynamic responses continuously depending on the number of repetitions but without changing the intensity ...

Abstract The physiological sequelae of pre‐term birth might influence the responses of this population to hypoxia. Moreover, identifying variables associated with development of acute mountain sickness (AMS) remains a key practically significant area of altitude research.

Abstract Cold temperatures (<−15°C) increase exercise‐induced bronchoconstriction (EIB), while hypoxic‐induced hyperventilation exacerbates respiratory muscle fatigue for a given exercising task. This study aimed to determine the individual and combined effects of cold and normobaric hypoxia on the respiratory system responses to high‐intensity ...

Abstract During exercise, females have a higher work of breathing (ẆB) than males for a given minute ventilation (V̇E$ \dot {V}_{\text {E}}$) ≥ 50–60 L min−1, presumably due to sex differences in airway size. However, on average, males have greater forced vital capacity (FVC) than females, and the confounding effect of FVC on sex differences in ẆB is ...

ABSTRACT Background Prior work has linked work stressors to asthma. However, research related to gender‐specific associations remains sparse and yielded mixed results. We aimed to address this gap. Methods We drew on cross‐sectional data from the 2015 National Health Interview Survey (individual‐level response rate = 79.7%).
