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

Sophie É Collins et al. Eur Respir Rev. .

Abstract

The ventilatory response to exercise may improve after 1) bariatric surgery in morbid obesity, and 2) CPAP treatment in obesity with obstructive sleep apnoea, but the prognostic utility of minute ventilation/CO2 production in these patients is unclear. https://bit.ly/3Gl6rHW
