Abstract
Abstract: The aim of this study was to examine the cardio-respiratory effects of voluntary hyperpnoea using a respiratory muscle trainer (RMT) with three different sized rebreathing bags. In particular, the effects of hyperpnoea on inspired and end-tidal gas concentrations were determined. Seven adult males completed three 30 min bouts of hyperpnoea using optimal, oversized and undersized rebreathing bags. Inspired ( F I ) and expired end-tidal ( F ET ) O 2 and CO 2 concentrations, arterial O 2 saturation ( S AO2 ) and heart rate were measured during hyperpnoea. Before and after a bout of hyperpnoea, pulmonary function and blood pressure (BP) were assessed. Data were analysed using a two-way repeated-measures ANOVA, with p
