Engaging in targeted exercise interventions is a promising, non-pharmacological strategy to
mitigate the deleterious effects of aging and disease on brain health. However, despite its …

The number of older people worldwide living with cognitive impairment and
neurodegenerative diseases is growing at an unprecedented rate. Despite accumulating …

This study was conducted to determine the effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on
respiratory and peripheral muscles oxygenation during a maximal exercise tolerance test …

Background Physical activity (PA) has beneficial, whereas exposure to traffic related air
pollution (TRAP) has adverse, respiratory effects. Few studies, however, have examined if …

Evolutionary forces drive beneficial adaptations in response to a complex array of
environmental conditions. In contrast, over several millennia, humans have been so …

Abstract Cipriani, DJ, Terry, ME, Haines, MA, Tabibnia, AP, and Lyssanova, O. Effect of
stretch frequency and sex on the rate of gain and rate of loss in muscle flexibility during a …

As the first step in the oxygen-transport chain, the lung has a critical task: optimizing the
exchange of respiratory gases to maintain delivery of oxygen and the elimination of carbon …

New Findings What is the central question of this study? Does the combination of a higher
neural respiratory drive and greater dynamic mechanical ventilatory constraints during …

Although women experience greater ventilatory constraints and have a higher work of
breathing during exercise, they are less susceptible to diaphragm fatigue compared to men …

Yoga alters spontaneous respiratory regulation and reduces hypoxic and hypercapnic
ventilatory responses. Since a lower ventilatory response is associated with an improved …
