TL;DR: This ERS task force summarises the most recent scientific and methodological developments regarding respiratory mechanics and respiratory muscle assessment by addressing the validity, precision, reproducibility, prognostic value and responsiveness to interventions of various methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fat Distribution and End-Expiratory Lung Volume in Lean and Obese Men and Women
TL;DR: In both men and women, the decrease in EELV with obesity appears to be related to the cumulative effect of increased chest wallfat rather than to any specific regional chest wall fat distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dyspnea on exertion in obese women: association with an increased oxygen cost of breathing.
TL;DR: Dyspnea on exertion is prevalent in otherwise healthy obese women, which seems to be strongly associated with an increased oxygen cost of breathing, and exercise capacity is not reduced in obese women with dyspnea in exertion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obesity: associations with acute mountain sickness.
Ge Ri-Li,P. J. Chase,Sarah Witkowski,Brenda L. Wyrick,Jeff A. Stone,Benjamin D. Levine,Tony G. Babb +6 more
TL;DR: This elegant, short experiment suggests that obese men were more susceptible to acute mountain sickness than nonobese individuals during exposure to high altitudeinduced hypobaric hypoxia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mild-to-moderate obesity: implications for respiratory mechanics at rest and during exercise in young men.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that mild-to-moderate obesity in young men results in reduced lung volumes and alterations in respiratory mechanics when supine, seated at rest, and during exercise.
