To minimize transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-
2), the novel coronavirus responsible for coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the US Centers …

In this review, we detail how the pulmonary system's response to exercise is impacted by
both sex and gender in healthy humans across the lifespan. First, the rationale for why sex …

In the healthy, untrained young adult, a case is made for a respiratory system (airways,
pulmonary vasculature, lung parenchyma, respiratory muscles, and neural ventilatory …

Rationale: It is increasingly recognized that adults with preserved ratio impaired spirometry
(PRISm) are prone to increased morbidity. However, the underlying pathophysiological …

Due to the currently ongoing pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), it is
strongly recommended to wear facemasks to minimize transmission risk. Wearing a …

We sought to determine the impact of wearing cloth or surgical masks on the
cardiopulmonary responses to moderate-intensity exercise. Twelve subjects (n= 5 females) …

• The functional consequences of sex differences in the structure of the pulmonary system
seem to be maintained over the course of the healthy aging process.• The effects of size …

The pulmonary system is the first and last “line of defense” in terms of maintaining blood gas
homeostasis during exercise. Our review provides the reader with an overview of how the …

The respiratory muscles encompass a variety of functions and roles, their action during
exercise facilitates arterial blood-gas and pH regulation. Exercise hyperpnea is the first line …

We examined the relationship between the work of breathing (Wb) during exercise and in
vivo measures of airway size in healthy females and males. We hypothesized that sex …
