In highly trained individuals, increased work of breathing, respiratory muscle fatigue and dyspnea at high intensities limits the respiratory system performance. During strenuous exercises, moderately fit subject’s respiratory musculature demands ~10% of the total oxygen consumption (VO2) whereas highly fit subject demands up to 15% of VO2. The exhaustive high-intensity exercise leads to inspiratory, expiratory muscle fatigue as well as diaphragm fatigue (above 85% VO2max or 80% Wmax). Low ability
