Control of Breathing During Exercise

Hubert V. Forster, Philippe Haouzi, Jerome A. Dempsey

Comprehensive Physiology

Why does breathing rise so closely with the work your muscles are doing? In healthy mammals, breathing and gas exchange usually adjust to exercise while blood oxygen and carbon dioxide remain closely regulated. The authors examine…

Control of lipid oxidation during exercise

K. Sahlin, R. C. Harris

Acta Physiologica

Using more energy during exercise does not mean that fat supplies an ever-growing share of it. The paper describes fat oxidation rising as exercise demand increases, then declining beyond roughly 50% to 60% of maximal oxygen…

Coordination of Pharyngeal and Esophageal Phases of Swallowing

Lang IM

Journal of Neurogastroenterology and Motility

Getting a swallow from the throat into the food pipe requires a coordinated handoff. The account argues that this handoff uses both brainstem commands and feedback from material entering the upper food pipe. In individual human…

Core Muscle Activity during Physical Fitness Exercises: A Systematic Review

José M. Oliva-Lozano, José M. Muyor

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health

Choosing a core exercise depends on which muscles you want to challenge. Across 67 studies in healthy adults, researchers compared electrical activity in abdominal and back muscles during different exercises. Free-weight exercises produced some of the…

Current concepts of plyometric exercise

Davies G, Riemann BL, Manske R

International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy

Explosive movement depends on more than how much force a muscle can produce slowly. Plyometric exercise links a rapid stretch with an immediate shortening action, as in a quick rebound after landing. The short transition can…

Customizing intense interval exercise training prescription using the frequency, intensity, time, and type of exercise (FITT) principle

Pinelopi S. Stavrinou, Todd A. Astorino, Christoforos D. Giannaki, et al.

Frontiers in Physiology

What makes one interval workout feel very different from another? The paper examines how frequency, intensity, time and exercise type shape responses to intense interval training. Work and recovery duration can change breathing, metabolic strain and…
