Women Lung muscles - ketchim - 11-09-2013
[size=12pt]Women's lung muscles have to work harder than men's :
making breathlessness more common after exercise,
say scientists in Canada.[/size]

Their study in the journal Experimental Physiology examined :
the activity of the diaphragm - the muscle that drives lung function.
It had to work harder in women to compensate for smaller lungs....

The research was conducted at McGill University.....Montreal !

"In both health and diseases, women are more likely to show signs of breathlessness
after physical activity than men,"
said lead researcher Dr Dennis Jensen.

"Women have biologically smaller lungs and they have to activate respiratory muscles more to move a given amount of air."
He said it was an "important insight into why women with emphysema and heart failure have worse breathing symptoms than men".

Now, now ketch there you go including me . Have you no respect for my wit all this time?
I could easily have said that you don't need no expert from Mc Gill to tell you about women physiology when you are an expert yourself .
After all three women left you but like I said , I wont say it 8)
Re: Women Lung muscles - ketchim - 11-09-2013
Your wit is more like without .....but I wont say it
Re: Women Lung muscles - Kwami - 11-09-2013
