Correspondence regarding "Ventilatory efficiency in athletes, asthma and obesity": different ventilatory phenotypes during exercise in obesity?

Nicola Borasio et al. Eur Respir Rev. .

Abstract

Patients with obesity may have different ventilatory phenotypes during exercise related to an interaction of expiratory flow limitation, mechanical constraints and adaptations of chemoreception and metabolic setpoints. https://bit.ly/3JBs86S
