    Near-maximal voluntary hyperpnea can cause ventilatory muscle fatigue, reducing inspiratory and transdiaphragmatic strength. This fatigue, indicated by diaphragm EMG changes, may limit exercise endurance.

    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Exercise Physiology
    • Respiratory Physiology

    Background:

    • Heavy exercise places significant demands on ventilatory muscles.
    • Understanding ventilatory muscle function during intense activity is crucial for exercise science.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate ventilatory muscle function during short-term, near-maximal voluntary normocapnic hyperpnea.
    • To assess the impact of hyperpnea on respiratory muscle strength and diaphragm activity.

    Main Methods:

    • Measurements of pleural/abdominal pressures and diaphragm electromyogram (EMG) during hyperpnea.
    • Assessment of maximal respiratory pressures (PImax, Pdimax) before and after hyperpnea.
    • Diaphragm pressure-stimulation frequency relationship via transcutaneous phrenic nerve stimulation.

    Main Results:

    • Decreased maximal inspiratory (PImax) and transdiaphragmatic (Pdimax) strength observed post-hyperpnea.
    • Reduced diaphragm pressure-frequency curves and altered diaphragm EMG frequency power ratios correlated with Pdimax decrease.
    • Expiratory muscles showed increased force contribution at higher ventilation levels.

    Conclusions:

    • Short-term, near-maximal voluntary hyperpnea can induce ventilatory muscle fatigue.
    • This fatigue, characterized by reduced muscle strength and altered EMG patterns, may limit exercise endurance at high ventilation levels.
