A Comparison of the Pulmonary Function of Older Endurance Athletes with Age-Matched Sedentary Controls
… Method: 40 males ages 45 to 65 were compared for respiratory muscle strength, spirometry and maximum voluntary ventilation. Univariate and multivariate analysis (p < 0.05) were used to determine differences Results: No significant differences in age, height, or respiratory muscle strength were …

Optimisation of neonatal ventilation
… <br/>• In prematurely born infants with acute respiratory distress, to determine the optimal level of volume targeted ventilation. <br/>• In term and prematurely born infants, to assess the effect on work of breathing of the addition of pressure support (PSV) to synchronised intermittent …

The effect of inspiratory muscle training on clinical outcomes and health-related quality of life in children with neuromuscular disease and respiratory muscle weakness.
Background: Progressive respiratory muscle weakness and ineffective cough contributes to pulmonary morbidity and mortality in children with neuromuscular disease. Inspiratory muscle training aims to preserve or improve respiratory muscle strength, reduce respiratory complications and improve …

The effect of individualized nutrition intervention in malnourished, ambulatory patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
… in these patients is associated with impaired respiratory muscle function and depressed immunocompetence. These impairments are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. One objective of this study was to identify factors contributing to weight loss in COPD patients. Another objective …

The role of the muscle metaboreflex in patients with chronic disease
Exercising muscle needs a constant supply of oxygen for the aerobic metabolism of carbohydrate and fat, and regulation of the blood supply to muscle during exercise is therefore critical. Heart rate, stroke volume and minute ventilation all increase during exercise, and sympathetic vasoconstriction …

The Effects of Frequent Smartphone Use on Children’s Upper Posture and Pulmonary Function
… pressures (MEP) were measured to assess respiratory muscles’ strength. A significant difference in CVA measures was found between both groups; girls (p=0.02) and boys (p=0.03). Cervical ROM in extension was limited in addicted boys (p=0.04). Also, in addicted boys, FVC and FEV1 were …
