Abstract
INTRODUCTION Fatigue is defined as loss of capacity to develop muscle force and/or velocity that is reversible at rest. We assessed non-invasively the fatigue and recovery of inspiratory rib cage muscles during two respiratory endurance tests in healthy individuals. METHODS The sniff nasal inspiratory pressure (SNIP) was assessed before and after two respiratory endurance tests: normocapnic hyperpnea (NH) and inspiratory pressure threshold loading (IPTL). Contractile (maximum rate of pressure development and time to peak pressure) and relaxation parameters (maximum relaxation rate [MRR], time constant of pressure decay [τ], and half relaxation time) obtained from sniff curves and shortening velocity and mechanical power estimated using optoelectronic plethysmography were analyzed during SNIP maneuvers. Respiratory muscle activity (electromyography) and tissue oxygenation (near-infrared spectroscopy-NIRS) were obtained during endurance tests and SNIP maneuvers. Fatigue development of inspiratory rib cage muscles was assessed according to the slope of decay of median frequency. RESULTS Peak pressure during SNIP decreased after both protocols (p <0.05). MRR, shortening velocity, and mechanical power decreased (p <0.05), whereas τ increased after IPTL (p <0.05). The median frequency of inspiratory rib cage muscles (i.e., sum of sternocleidomastoid, scalene, and parasternal) decreased linearly during IPTL and exponentially during NH, mainly due to the sternocleidomastoid. CONCLUSION Fatigue development behaved differently between protocols and relaxation properties (MRR and τ), shortening velocity, and mechanical power changed only in the IPTL.

Respiration 2019; 97:558-568. [PMID: 30933945 DOI: 10.1159/000496028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2018] [Accepted: 12/04/2018] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The beneficial effects of exercise training for asthmatics might relate to repetitive airway stretching. Thus, a training with more pronounced airway stretch using isolated, volitional hyperpnea (HYP) might be similarly or more effective. However, in healthy subjects, a bout of HYP training is known to cause an acute FEV1 decline. OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was therefore to test whether these changes are more pronounced in asthmatics, possibly putting them at risk with HYP training. METHODS Nine subjects with mild-moderate asthma (confirmed by mannitol challenge) and 11 healthy subjects performed six 5-min bouts (with 6-min breaks; HYP1) and one 30-min bout (HYP2) of normocapnic HYP at 60% of maximal voluntary ventilation using warm and humid air. FEV1 and airway resistance (R5) were measured before, in breaks (HYP1), and immediately after HYP, and during 60 min of recovery. RESULTS In both groups, a significant and similar decrease in FEV1 during HYP1 (asthmatics: -3 ± 3%; healthy subjects: -2 ± 3%), after HYP1 (asthmatics: -2 ± 5%; healthy subjects: -1 ± 4%), and after HYP2 (asthmatics: -4 ± 5%; healthy subjects: -3 ± 3%), and an increase in R5 during and after both HYPs were observed. Maximal changes in FEV1 and R5 did not correlate with baseline lung function or responsiveness to mannitol. CONCLUSIONS A bout of HYP does not lead to relevant bronchoconstriction and the observed changes in lung function and airway resistance are neither of the magnitude of clinical relevance, nor do they differ from responses in healthy individuals. Thus, HYP training can safely be tested as an airway-specific exercise training alternative (or add-on) modality to regular aerobic exercise training.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evaluate the influence of posture on ventilatory pattern, compartmental distribution of volume of chest wall and thoraco-abdominal kinematics of patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). DESIGN Cross-sectional study. METHODS Twelve, male patients with severe COPD (Forced Expiratory Volume in the first second (FEV1) = 24.35 ± 4.52%, Forced Vital Capacity% (FVC%) = 60 ± 13.39% and relationship FEV1/FVC = 53.42 ± 14.47). The distribution of the volume of the ribcage [pulmonary rib cage (Rcp), abdominal ribcage (Rca) and abdomen (Ab)] during quiet breathing in a sitting position without back support (SWB), sitting with backrest (SB) and supine position (SUP) was determined using an opto-electronic plethysmograph. RESULTS The following differences were observed: a greater tidal volume in the SWB position when compared to the SB position (p = 0.01); greater expiratory time in the SUP position in relation to the SWB (p = 0.03) and SB (p = 0.01); and increased abdominal contribution to the tidal volume in the SUP position in relation to the SWB (p < 0.01) and SB (p < 0.001). No difference was found in the thoraco-abdominal synchrony among the positions. CONCLUSION Sitting position without back support enhances the activation of respiratory muscles by increasing the tidal volume and supine position seems to favor lung deflation by increasing the expiratory time. It seems appropriate to adopt these positions to optimize the ventilation/perfusion relationship and physiotherapeutic intervention in different clinical conditions.
