Pulmonary Adaptation to High Altitude.

Abstract

Three major aims of the contract were addressed in the past 6 months: (1) We completed our study of the relationship between hypoxia-induced periodic breathing in sleep and the occurrence of obstructive apnea. (2) The question of respiratory muscle fatigue during exercise in humans was studied in highly fit subjects performing high intensity exercise to exhaustion. (3) We have studied respiratory muscle recruitment during exercise and saw evidence of active expiration even in mild exercise.
