| Using the fatigue protocol described by Lewis and Fulco (1998), we have recently shown untrained women have a slower rate of inspiratory muscle fatigue than untrained men during intermittent isometric exercise (Gonzales and Scheuermann, 2006), consistent with findings in the adductor pollicis muscle (Fulco et al. 35) This respiratory muscle fatigue has been attributed to possible limb muscle vasoconstriction and reduction in limb blood flow elicited by a metaboreflex originating in the diaphragm and causing systemic vasoconstriction during periods of inspiratory muscle fatigue. Clinical manifestations of inspiratory muscle fatigue. |
