Overview:

This online course examines several factors related to breathing dysfunction that may alter athletic performance. 

A discussion of the involvement of the diaphragm and trunk stability during athletic performance will be presented.  Studies relating to the effects of fatigue of the diaphragm, core fatigue, impact loading during running, and the effects of the metaboreflex on performance are presented and discussed. Finally, the effects of progesterone on female runners are examined.

 

In this online course, we will:

  • Review pulmonary physiology during exercise
  • Learn about the function of the deep core
  • Understand the postural activity of the diaphragm and response to fatigue
  • Discuss impact loading and locomotor respiratory coupling
  • Understand the response to breathlessness
  • Learn about metaboreflex and its effects
  • Have an inspiratory muscle training discussion
  • Discuss the response to progesterone in females

 

Course Objectives:

  1. Describe the physiological response of aerobic exercise on the respiratory system.
  2. Describe the effect of running on the viscera and the diaphragm.
  3. Describe the response to inspiratory muscle fatigue on the body.
  4. List one device that may increase the endurance of the respiratory muscles
