Abstract:
Exercise is strongly recommended in almost all populations for its beneficial effects on physical and mental health. This edition of Clinics features state-of-the-art reviews of the most commonly encountered respiratory causes of shortness of breath during exercise in active individuals, including nasal obstructions, exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction, excessive dynamic airways collapse, exercise-induced bronchoconstriction with and without asthma, and breathing-pattern disorder. The goals of this edition include summarizing knowledge of these conditions, creating a new wave of experts in the field, and inspiring readers to contribute to the field from around the globe.

Mechanism of Breathing III: The Accessory Muscles
The respiratory system is a complex network that relies on primary respiratory muscles like the diaphragm, but also involves accessory muscles to enhance lung expansion and airflow during both inhalation and exhalation.
Enhancing Inhalation with Accessory Muscles:
Accessory muscles such as the sternocleidomastoid, scalene, intercostal, and abdominal muscles are crucial when additional respiratory effort is required, such as during deep...
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...
Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.
Factors Affecting Pulmonary Ventilation
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...
