Abstract

It is often seen that the breath is held during strenous exercise such as 100m or 200m dash. The characteristic features in this maneuver are that exercise intensity is very vigorous and duration is very short. To our knowledge, no detailed observation has been conducted on the cardiopulmonary responses during this particular physical performance.
