Dr Glenn McConell chats with Professor Jerry Dempsey from the University of Wisconsin Madison School of Medicine and Public Health on "Is the lung built for exercise". Jerry is a legend and the most recognizable name in the area, having examined the respiratory system and exercise for 60 years. He is 84 and although he says he retired at 82 he is still heavily involved.  

0:00. Introduction 

0:47. How respiratory system responds to acute exercise 

4:25. Regulation of respiration 

5:54. Lungs not limiting to exercise in most people. 

11.26. Lungs can limit exercise in very well trained. 

18:51. Lung does not appear to adapt to exercise training.  

22:04. Lungs may be even more limiting in aging. 

26:24. Lungs may adapt to exercise in older people.  

28:42. Chronic hypoxia causes adaptation, does exercise? 

32:37. Exercise and asthma. 

34:25. Lungs not built for chronic huge flow rates (asthma). 

36:40. Some “asthma” actually may be laryngeal dysfunction. 

43:49. Thoroughbred horses have respiratory problems. 

45:25. Need better studies on exercise and asthma.

47:10. Extreme exercise can damage the lungs 

49:29. But again exercise is good for you! 

49:52. Respiratory muscles adapt to exercise training.

58:42. Respiratory muscle training improves exercise in heart failure. 

59:10. Sex differences.  

1:08:07. He’s not really retired, just not getting paid!
