Abstract:
On the basis researches of character responses of respiratory system (RS) on hypercapnic and physical load at 54 skilled athletes (the runners on 100, 800 and 5000 m) are analyzed of the features in physiological reactivity of system on shifts respiratory homeostasis, reflecting a various orientation of long-term adaptation (sports of the training). The interrelation of sensitivity and stability of responses to hypercapnic (CO2-H+), and also limits and kinetic characteristics of responses RS of physical loads with manifestation of work capacity and mobilization features aerobic and anaerobic processes of during physical loads energy-supply was demonstrated. By means of tacsonomic analyses are allocated types of individual responses of organism of the skilled athletes on the basis of character RS responses to hypercapnic shifts in respiratory homeostasis. They in a high degree have been caused by sports specialization of athletes.

Fundamental Processes in Respiration:
Respiratory Capacities
One key metric is the Inspiratory Capacity (IC), which represents the maximum amount of air that can be inhaled with full effort. IC is calculated by summing the tidal volume and inspiratory reserve volume, typically ranging from 2.4 to 3.6 liters.
The Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) represents the air in the...

Factors Affecting Respiration
Physiological Control of Respiration
Breathing, a seemingly passive process, is regulated by the respiratory center in the brainstem. This center coordinates the involuntary control of respirations, which means it occurs without conscious effort, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted pattern.
Regulation of Ventilation
The body maintains ventilation by monitoring levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), oxygen (O2), and hydrogen ion concentration (pH) in the arterial blood. Among these factors, the level of CO2 plays a crucial...

Alveolar Surface Tension
The alveolar fluid lines the luminal surface of the alveoli and exerts a force called surface tension. This force is caused by the polar water molecules in the liquid being more strongly attracted to each...
