| Research Abstract |
While there are numerous afferent drives to the respiratory center to control exercise ventilation, one of the important drive certainly comes from the exercising skeletal muscles. Stimulation of afferent nerves with endings in hindlimb skeletal muscles is known to have marked reflex effects on the respiratory system of anesthetized animals. The recent animal studies appropriated the neural monitoring system to hemodynamic effect (i.e., a "flow-linked" control) of ventilation. Therefore, to investigated to verify this hypothesis, i.e., whether the mechanosensitive, flow-dependent stimulation in muscle can be linked the ventilatory control in response to exercise in humans, we performed the following experiments, 1; to investigate the effect of occluding of femoral blood flow on the post-exercise ventilatory response of both the sub-and supra-anaerobic threshold (AT) leg cycling, 2; to investigate the effect of static/intermittent compressing stimulus to the lower limb using the anti-shock pant on post-exercise ventilatory response from leg cycling exercise, 3; to investigate the effect of postural change from supine to upright (it means blood retention to the lower limb) just after the cessation of cycling exercise on post-exercise ventilatory response, and 4; to investigate the causal linkage of ventilatory depression and blood flow to the lower limb during cycling exercise just after the 5-minintentional hyperventilation to induce vasoconstriction. As a result, two experiments supported the hypothesis whereas the remaining two did not. Accordingly, further study is clearly needed to deserve these issues.
