Greater muscle mass does not affect peripheral hypercapnic chemosensitivity during exercise in healthy adults

Abstract Peripheral hypercapnic chemosensitivity (PHC) is the ventilatory response to a brief rise in arterial carbon dioxide tension. PHC is known to increase at the onset of exercise, with no further increases with progressive exercise intensity. The mechanisms for this augmentation remain unclear but may involve cen...
