Abstract:
The respiration of ten healthy male subjects was studied during 4-min exposures to vertical whole-body vibration of 0.15 and 0.35 g peak acceleration intensities of frequencies of 2 through 7 cycle/sec. Initial hyperventilation, with a subsequent return toward normal levels, occurred during the period of vibration. The breathing frequency decreased and the end-expiratory position dropped, but the vital capacity was not changed. Vibration-induced hyperventilation was most pronounced at 4–5 cycle/sec. Oxygen consumption was increased during vibration, with a maximum increase observed at the lowest frequencies. All changes were greater at 0.35 g than at 0.15 g acceleration. Except for a decreased alveolar CO 2 concentration, respiration during the 4-min recovery period did not significantly differ from the previbration levels. Submitted on May 14, 1962
