Percentage decline in ventilation during brief hyperoxia (10-14 breaths) while cycling at 40% of maximal power output for individuals of the control group (, N=9) and the respiratory muscle training (RMT) group (•, N=9) before (Pre) and after (Post) the RMT or control period. Open symbols show means ± S.D. *Significantly different for between-group difference of the pre/post-changes in the response, P<0.05.

Cycling endurance times at 85% of maximal power output for individuals of the control group (, N=10) and the respiratory muscle training (RMT) group (•, N=10) before (Pre) and after (Post) the RMT or control period. Open symbols show means ± S.D. *Significantly different for between-group difference of the pre/post-changes in end-time, P<0.05.
