RESPIRATION AT REST AND

DURING EXERCISE
Exercise or any We need
physical oxygen at
activity has a rest and
special effect during
on respiratory exercise
system.
During exercise cellular oxidation increases
and thereby carbon dioxide production
increases.
Respiratory system maintain an efficient
balance between the oxygen and carbon
dioxide in the blood at rest and also
Effect On Respiratory
System.
Immediate changes that occur during exercise programme.

Permanent Changes due to long term


physical training

Changes depends on Types, Intensity &


Duration of
Exercise
SHORT TERM EFFECT DURING EXERCISE

(STE) Tidal Volume

 It is around 500 ml (Normal)

 During exercise , this tidal volume increases.

 Depending on intensity it may be 1500-2000 ml

for ordinary person.


(STE) Respiratory rate

 At rest , respiratory rate is around 16 per minute.

 During exercise , for ordinary persons it may be

increased to 25-30 per minute.


(STE) Pulmonary Ventilation
 (PV) = Tidal volume (TV) X Respiratory
rate(RR).
 At rest it is around 8 lit / min . (500 ml X 16 per
min)
 During exercise since both TV and RR increases ,
PV will also increase depending on the intensity of
exercise .
 For ordinary person , the value of PV may be 40-
(STE) Oxygen uptake
 The amount of oxygen which we take inside the

body from ambient air in each minute at rest is

called resting oxygen uptake.

 It is around 200-300 ml / min during rest.

 During exercise oxygen uptake increases to

3.5 lit / min for ordinary person.


(STE) Lung diffusion capacity
 Diffusion is the process of movement of gas

molecules ( O2 and CO2 ) that takes place in

the lungs and tissues.

 During exercise there will be more movement of

gas molecules and diffusion capacity increases.


(STE) Lung volume
 For normal breathing at rest lung expand and there

is a change in air pressure .

 During exercise due to rapid movement of

diaphragm and intercostal muscles total area of

lung expands to accommodate more exchange of

gases.
LONG TERM EFFECT OF
TRAINING
Tidal Volume
 Trained athlete’s capacity to inhale or exhale

air during exercise increases to the tune of


2500 ml.
 Untrained persons cannot increase up to this
level because their capacity is less than trained
athletes.
(LTE) Respiratory rate

 Trained athlete may increase their rate to 40 in

each minute from 16 / min at rest.

 Untrained persons will not be able to reach to this

level .

 They may increase their rate up to 25-28 / min.


(LTE) Pulmonary Ventilation
 A trained athlete may increase PV to around
100 lit/min . (2500ml X 40 per min)
 This is because their TV and RR both increases
during exercise.
 Untrained persons may increase it up to 50-60
lit/min.
(LTE) Oxygen uptake
 During exercise , after a long term training , a

trained athlete may consume around 5 lit oxygen

per minute.

 Untrained persons may go up to the level of 3.5 lit

oxygen per minute.


(LTE) Lung diffusion capacity
 During exercise , the lung diffusion capacity
increases in both trained and untrained persons.
 However, trained athletes may increase their
diffusion capacity 30% more than that of an
untrained person because athlete’s lung surface area
and red blood cell count is higher than that of the
non-athletes.
(LTE) Vital capacity

 For a healthy adult male it is around 4.8 lit and for

women 3.1 lit.

 The athletes who are under training for a long

period may increase vital capacity to around 6 lit.


(LTE) Efficiency Of Lungs
 An athlete’s total efficiency of the lung
remain at higher level than the non-
athletes.
 This efficiency is the key factor for
higher rate of oxygen uptake than non-
athletes
(LTE) Second wind

 This term is usually described as a sudden

transition from an ill-defined feeling of

distress or fatigue during the early portions of

prolonged exercise to a more comfortable,

less stressful feeling later in exercise.


(LTE) Second wind
 Second wind is a phenomenon in distance
running as well as other sports, whereby an
athlete who is out of breath and too tired to
continue suddenly finds the strength to press
on at top performance with less exertion.
 It has been observed that trained athletes get
their second wind comfortably and easily
than non-athletes.
 Scientist suggest, body finding the proper
balance of oxygen to counteract the buildup
of lactic acid in the muscles.
 Some Claims second winds are due to
endorphin production(stress relieve hormone)
PEF (PEAK EXPIRATORY FLOW)

 The peak expiratory flow (PEF), also called peak

expiratory flow rate (PEFR), is a person's

maximum speed of expiration, as measured with

a peak flow meter.

 Peak flow measurement is mostly done by

people who have asthma.


Side stitch
 A side stitch is an intense stabbing abdominal pain
under the lower edge of the ribcage that occurs
during exercise.
 It is also called a side ache, side cramp, muscle
stitch, or simply stitch.
 Commonly occurs during running, swimming, and
horseback riding.
 The medical term is exercise-related transient
abdominal pain (ETAP).
Causes

 The precise cause of ETAP is unclear.

 Proposed mechanisms include diaphragmatic

ischemia (insufficient oxygen).

 Cramping of the abdominal musculature.

 Irritation of the parietal peritoneum

(abdominal lining)
