It cannot be excluded that the partial dissociation found between the time courses of RPE and f R may have been influenced in some instances by errors committed when rating RPE. For instance, it may have been difficult to differentiate perceived exertion from the sensation of force Luu et al.
We also used a rating scale to quantitatively assess the ability of the participants to provide RPE values frequently sinusoidal tests and to perform the task trapezoidal test , and good values were generally reported.
Therefore, these data suggest that the tasks required of the participants were feasible and well performed, although cognitively demanding. The response of f R may have been affected by other factors along with those aforementioned. However, sinusoidal changes in oesophageal and muscular temperature show a substantially longer phase lag Todd et al. It is more plausible that some properties of the respiratory neurons or phenomena observed in the brain after exercise cessation can partly explain the time course differences observed between f R and RPE during sinusoidal and trapezoidal tests.
More interestingly, neuroimaging evidence indicates that some of the cortical and subcortical areas involved in the control of movement and ventilation maintain their activity even after exercise termination, despite the absence of any activity from locomotor muscles Fink et al. A very different response compared to that of f R was found for V T in all the exercise tests.
This is especially true for research on sinusoidal exercise, where only a few studies have reported the responses of f R and V T without further discussing their different behavior Bakker et al. For instance, when f R amplitude is relatively high, V T amplitude is relatively low; when f R amplitude is relatively low, V T amplitude is relatively high Fig.
Therefore, beyond the existence of a differential control of V T and f R , it emerges that there is an unbalanced interdependence between V T and f R. While f R seems not to be substantially influenced by the levels of V T , at least until critical V T levels are reached Duffin et al. However, our findings seem to suggest that V T continuously adjusts on the basis of f R levels, but not vice versa.
This interpretation agrees with previous findings Haouzi and Bell ; Ohashi et al. When f R is voluntarily controlled, V T adjusts on the basis of the levels of f R and CO 2 to keep alveolar ventilation constant irrespective of the experimental conditions tested, that is, increased dead space, hypercapnia, and light exercise Haouzi and Bell Expanding on these results, Ohashi et al.
However, in the light of the differential control of V T and f R , partly different conclusions can be drawn. Note that this proposition implies that central command is viewed in an effort perspective Thornton et al.
Conversely, in respiratory physiology, workload is commonly viewed as an indicator of central command Whipp and Ward ; Haouzi, , ; Forster et al. The present findings and interpretations have important implications for future research on the mechanisms regulating exercise hyperpnoea.
By proposing a series of exercise manipulations, the present study provides a novel framework to further our understanding of the control of f R and V T during exercise. More specifically, f R changes more with RPE than with workload, V T , metabolic variables or with the amount of muscle activation.
These findings provide further insight into the importance of differentiating between f R and V T to improve our understanding of exercise hyperpnoea. Respiratory frequency and tidal volume during exercise: differential control and unbalanced interdependence.

Introduction Understanding how ventilation is regulated during exercise is a classical challenge in respiratory physiology. Preliminary ramp incremental test and familiarization trials Before the ramp incremental test, participants were given standard instructions for providing RPE using the Borg 6—20 scale Borg Sinusoidal tests Four sinusoidal tests were performed in two separate experimental visits.
Open in a separate window. Figure 1. Sinusoidal analysis For all the variables measured during the sinusoidal tests, data were linearly interpolated and extrapolated every second. Sinusoidal tests Figure 1 shows the group's average response over time of mechanical, physiological and perceptual variables during the four sinusoidal tests.

Discussion The present study proposes a series of exercise manipulations collectively aiming at furthering our understanding of the overlooked differential control of f R and V T during exercise. Control of f R The present findings collectively reveal that f R has a very peculiar response to exercise, which is more influenced by RPE levels than by workload levels, the amount of muscle activation or by metabolic requirements.
Conclusion By proposing a series of exercise manipulations, the present study provides a novel framework to further our understanding of the control of f R and V T during exercise. Conflict of Interest None declared.

Increasing tidal volume during exercise is one way for your lungs to accommodate the exhalation of this increased carbon dioxide load.
According to Kim Barrett and colleagues in their "Ganong's Review of Medical Physiology," the drivers of increased tidal volume, and to a lesser extent of increased breathing rate which also helps your lungs to exhale carbon dioxide, are divided into those that function immediately upon beginning exercise, and those that function after you've been exercising for a while.
Immediate increases are likely mediated by reflexes involving your brainstem and motor cortex, in what is likely a reflex loop between these structures and your respiratory muscles.
Later increases in tidal volume are likely mediated by chemical receptors in your circulation which recognize that your body's metabolism has increased, and respond by instructing your lungs to emit more carbon dioxide.
The chemicals involved in this increase include oxygen, carbon dioxide, lactic acid, arachadonic acid and bradykinin, and the receptors involved are located on many organs throughout your body. Your lungs are made up of tissues that can exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen, and also of tissues that cannot.
The air included in a tidal volume measurement interacts with both of these parts — so it follows that not all of the air in the tidal volume is exchanging carbon dioxide for oxygen. In order to move more air into your lungs during exercise, you have two options: increase the rate at which you're breathing, or increase your tidal volume. Increasing only the rate will increase the proportion of air that you breathe that belongs to the dead space volume; hence, an increase in tidal volume is necessary to facilitate effective gas exchange.
Fitness Workouts Exercises and Workouts. Aubrey Bailey is a Doctor of Physical Therapy with an additional degree in psychology and board certification in hand therapy. Eliminate carbon dioxide CO 2 from the tissues of the body via the lungs. As with the cardiovascular system heart, blood and blood vessels greater demand is placed on these key functions with certain types of exercise.
As exercise commences pulmonary ventilation breathing increases in direct proportion to the intensity and metabolic needs of the exercise. This is shown on the adjacent graph. If the exercise is intense, breathing rates may increase from a typical resting rate of 15 breaths per minute up to 40 — 50 breaths per minute. The most commonly used measure of respiratory function with exercise is known as VO 2 volume of oxygen uptake.
VO 2 refers to the amount of oxygen taken up and used by the body. This is due to an increasing reliance on oxygen to help provide energy as exercise continues.
As the intensity of exercise continues to increase a person reaches a maximum point above which oxygen consumption will not increase any further.
This point is known as VO2 max and is shown on the following graph. EPOC stands for 'Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption', and relates to the bodies need to keep consuming oxygen at a greater than resting rate once exercise has finished to make up for an oxygen 'debt' that is created when exercise commences. We'll explain this a little more in relation to the following graph. As longer duration exer cise commences an oxygen deficit is created remember that it takes awhile for the aerobic energy system to kick in.
Respiration rate and depth remain elevated during this recovery period in order to expel carbon dioxide and return the acid—base balance of the muscles to neutral. The higher the intensity of longer duration training the bigger the oxygen deficit and the longer the respiration rate and depth will stay elevated after the workout has finished.
When it comes to exercise the respiratory and cardiovascular systems are largely geared to the intake and supply of oxygen for energy and removal of the waste products carbon dioxide and lactate.
