Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this project, I examined the effect of a rise in body temperature on respiratory chemosensitivity at rest and during exercise, and the relationship between respiratory chemosensitivity and hyperthermia-induced hyperventilation. I found that 1) < 0.7 degrees C rise in body temperature did not change respiratory chemosensitivity at rest, 2) light intensity exercise (90 W) did not change respiratory chemosensitivity, 3) 1　degrees C rise in body temperature did not change respiratory chemosensitivity during light intensity exercise, and that 4) there was no significant relationship between respiratory chemosensitivity and the extent of hyperthermia-induced hyperventilation. These results suggest that respiratory chemosensitivity did not affect hyperthermia-induced hyperventilation.
