Effects of exercise on the respiratory
system.
1
Objectives
By the end of this lecture the students should be able to: -
1. Describe the effects of moderate and severe
exercise on oxygen consumption, and
ventilation volumes.
2. Describe the effects of exercise on arterial
PO2, PCO2 and H+
ions.
3. Define the diffusing capacity of the
respiratory membrane, and its typical values
at rest, and explain its changes in exercise.
4. Explain causes of hyperventilation in exercise.

Effect of Exercise on the respiratory system
• The blood gases do not always have
to become abnormal for respiration
to be stimulated in exercise.
• Instead, respiration is stimulated
mainly by neurogenic mechanisms
during exercise
• Arterial tensions of PCO2 and PO2
are relatively unchanged during
submaximal exercise
• BUT: arterial PO2 decreases & PCO2
increases slight in transition from
rest steady-state exercise

3
Regulation of respiration during exercise.
• In strenuous (exhausting)exercise O2
consumption and CO2 formation may increase
20 folds but alveolar ventilation increases
almost exactly in step with the increased
levels of metabolism.
• Therefore the arterial PO2, PCO2, PH all
remain almost exactly normal.
4
Diffusion capacity of the respiratory membrane
 Is the volume of gas that diffuses through the
membrane each minute for a pressure
difference of 1mmHg.
 Diffusing capacity for oxygen at rest
21ml/min/mmHg
 Even if the oxygen pressure difference across the
respiratory membrane is 11mmHg----------11x21=
230ml oxygen diffusing through the membrane
each minute.
 During rest tissues consume 250 ml O2 /min
5
Changes in the oxygen- diffusing capacity during
exercise
• 65ml/min/mmHg
• This is due to increased number of open pulmonary
capillaries which was dormant(inactive), thereby
increasing the surface area for gas exchange.
• In addition to increased alveolar ventilation.
6
Diffusing capacity for carbon dioxide
• It diffuses 20 times greater than oxygen due to
greater diffusion coefficient which is 20 times
that for oxygen.
• Diffusion capacity for carbon dioxide
400ml/min/mmHg.
• During exercise 1200 to 1300ml/min/mmHg.
7
• During exercise the oxygen requirement increased 20
times, and cardiac output increased and so the time
blood remained in the pulmonary capillaries becomes
less than half normal despite the fact that additional
capillaries open up
• But the blood is almost completely saturated with
oxygen when it leaves the pulmonary capillaries.
8
Reasons for this are as follow:
1- The diffusing capacity for oxygen increases almost three
fold during exercise, this results mainly from increasing
numbers of capillaries participating in the diffusion, and a
more even V/Q ratio all over the lung. (It is the ratio of
alveolar ventilation to pulmonary blood flow per minute)
2- At rest the blood normally stays in the lung capillaries
about three times as long as necessary to cause full
oxygenation. Therefore, even with shortened time of
exposure in exercise, the blood is still fully oxygenated
or nearly so.

Relation between oxygen consumption and total
pulmonary ventilation at different levels of exercise.
• There is a linear relation
between both oxygen
oxygen
consumption
consumption (Vo2 Max) and
total pulmonary ventilation
pulmonary ventilation
increase about 20-fold
between the resting state
and maximal intensity of
exercise in the well-trained
athlete.
What cause intense ventilation during exercise?
• Neural signals from the motor areas of the
brain to the respiratory center.
• The joint proprioceptors
• Body temperature (hypothalamus).
• Possibility that the neurogenic factor for
control of ventilation during exercise is a
learned response.
12
What cause intense ventilation during exercise? Cont…
• During maximal effort:
• Pulmonary ventilation at maximal exercise 100-110L/min
• Maximal breathing capacity
Maximal breathing capacity 150-170L/min
• maximal breathing capacity is about 50 % greater than the
actual pulmonary ventilation during maximal exercise. to
giving athletes extra ventilation E.g
(1) exercise at high altitudes,
(2) exercise under very hot conditions, and
(3) abnormalities in the respiratory system.
Effects of exercise on arterial PO2, PCO2 and H+
ions.
• Many studies have since reported that the lactat threshold (LT) is
(LT) is
strongly correlated with ventilatory
strongly correlated with ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT)The
term VAT actually refers to the onset of exercise induced
hyperventilation during effort. This increase in is a homeostatic
This increase in is a homeostatic
response to deal with the consequences of the excess lactate
response to deal with the consequences of the excess lactate
production
production which can dissociate to release H+
to release H+ ions from lactic acid
into the blood stream. The H+ ions are buffered by bicarbonate
The H+ ions are buffered by bicarbonate
and release CO2
and release CO2 .This buffering of lactic acid results in extra CO2
extra CO2
production over that produced by aerobic metabolism and
increases the arterial CO2 partial pressure (PaCO2). The increase in
PaCO2 stimulates excess ventilation that follows on from the
lactate threshold.
15
Anaerobic energy sources
16
Aerobic system
+ O2 →CO2 + H2O+Urea
17
The phosphagen energy system.
• The combined amounts of cell ATP and cell phosphocreatine
are called the phosphagen energy system.
• These together can provide maximal muscle power for 8 to 10
seconds, almost enough for the 100-meter run.
• Thus, the energy from the phosphagen system is used for
maximal short bursts of muscle power.
18
Relation between exercise duration& energy source
19
Normal oxygen consumption for a young man at
rest is about 250 ml/min.
However, under maximal conditions,
this can be increased to approximately the
following average levels:
 ml/min
Untrained average male --------------3600
Athletically trained average male ---4000
Male marathon runner----------------- 5100
Oxygen Consumption and Pulmonary
Ventilation in Exercise.
20
OXYGEN DEBT-
Oxygen Debt Is the Extra Consumption of Oxygen After
Completion of Strenuous Exercise (about 11.5 liters)
You will develop oxygen debt after about 5 minutes or
more of constant exercise. This is the point when the
exercise becomes ANAEROBIC (without the use of
oxygen) and which has to be paid back. If the exercise
is just AEROBIC (with oxygen) there will be no oxygen
debt.
E.G When you have a short intense burst of exercise
such as sprinting you generate energy for this
anaerobically or without oxygen. When you stop
exercising you are still breathing heavily. This is your
body taking in extra oxygen to 'repay' the oxygen
