Document Summary
Masks restrict air and use it to enhance respiratory capacity. Most cases, it is not the limiting capacity that limits air at sea level- it is oxygen transport increase sv and increasing co. Not that much science that shows if they work. Rbcs, but people can"t move to these areas to train, so these chambers are now used. Work well science doesn"t support it placebo effect, then works to improve capacity to exercise in strict physiological terms at rest, doesn"t work because don"t need more. Don"t recommend to exercise in air pollution- can have impact on exercise performance. 2 ergogenic aids: open up airways to allow more air in but doesn"t necessarily help for exercise. Review pulmonary physiology read find out how the respiratory system brings oxygen to muscles and tissues and rids the body of excess co2 learn the steps involved in respiration and gas exchange. Discover how one"s respiratory system regulates breathing and gas exchange.
