| Research Abstract |
Hypercapnic gas inhalation stimulates the respiratory center, and activates the cardiorespiratory systems. This specific physiological response was applied to sports training. Endurance athletes performed hypercapnic gas inhalation for one hour each day for two weeks. We showed that intermittent hypercapnic gas inhalation enhances hypercapnic ventilatory response and promotes the maximal ventilation during exercise. From the present results, it is suggested that intermittent hypercapnic gas inhalation may promote a ventilatory capacity in endurance athletes.
