title: Respiratory ventilation during muscular contraction in man.
abstract: Brief contraction of arm muscles affects respiratory ventilation either by increasing respiratory frequency or by increasing the instantaneous flow. Both these changes occur at a time subsequent to muscle contraction and can be attributed to a reflex mechanism originating from the muscles.
