Is the voluntary control of exercise in man necessary for the ventilatory response?

Abstract: SUMMARY1. The ventilatory response to electrically induced exercise (EEL) was studied in eighteen normal subjects and compared with the response to performing the same exercise voluntarily (EV).2. EEL was produced by surface electrode stimulation of the quadriceps and hamstring muscles so as to cause a pushing movement at 1 Hz against a spring load; this produced no pain or discomfort. Matching of Ev to EEL was achieved by subjects copying a tension signal recorded during EEL and displayed on a storage oscillo… Show more

“…The ventilatory response to electrically induced exercise was studied in thirteen patients with traumatic spinal cord transaction at or about the level of T6. The steady-state and on-transient responses to this exercise were compared with those obtained in eighteen normal subjects (Adams, Garlick, Guz, Murphy & Semple, 1984).…”

“…The experiments described in the previous paper (Adams, Garlick, Guz, Murphy & Semple, 1984) suggest that neither the cortex, nor other higher centres within the central nervous system are necessary for the normal matching of ventilation to CO2 elimination in man exercising below the anaerobic threshold. However, it is possible that some afferent information from the exercising muscles associated with their movement or the development of tension, could still play an important role in making ventilation appropriate to the amount of exercise.…”

“…This integrated service allowed free interactions between clinicians and researchers and was key to some of the later work. Abe continued studies on breathlessness in health and disease with studies of the genesis of exercise hyperpnoea [3], of functional brain mapping in breathing [4], of breathing control in heart-lung transplant patients [5], of the effect of local anaesthesia of the airways [6], and of exploring the patient descriptors of breathlessness and its measurement [7]. He also evaluated pharmaco-and psycho-therapeutic approaches to relieve the unpleasant sensation of dyspnoea [8,9].…”
