Problem 1: Define the following terms: tidal volume, respiratory rate, pulmonary ventilation, and ventilatory threshold.
Problem 2: What is a ventilatory equivalent? Find an article that explains how ventilatory equivalent can change with exercise and explain their results.
Problem 3: Explain the difference between the v-slope method and ventilatory equivalents method of estimating ventilatory threshold.
Problem 4: What does the respiratory compensation point (ventilatory threshold) represent?
Problem 5: What is the likely cause/mechanism of the ventilatory threshold?
