An Evaluation of Physiological Responses Towards Variant Respiratory Function

Abstract

AbstractThe respiratory system is listed among the most critical systems that sustain lives. Numerous studies have explored respiratory system mechanisms and developed models to understand its responses to external stimuli in recent years. However, the relationship between the function and other physiological appearances must be well-established. In this study, the respiratory function was evaluated as inspiratory capacity (IC), and various physiological responses were linked to the variance of such function. Paired t-tests confirmed significant inter-posture variations on IC. A positive linear correlation was observed between MEP and IC, while a weaker was observed between abdominal muscle shortening and IC, particularly during the end exhalation. The lung inflation reflex investigation noted a strong linear correlation between heart rate and breath level. This study could shed light on understanding the respiratory system and its applications in various fields.
