The Respiratory system
The outer breathing the air and the gas absorption by the blood to supply the body with oxygen. The respiratory organs are the lungs and airways afferent nose, throat, larynx, trachea and bronchi, and the skeleton and muscles of the thorax.
Among inner respiration is the gas exchange between the blood and cells.
The respiratory sizes of the lungs with the spirometer, for example, in sports investigative agencies routinely measured. As vital capacity (VC) is that air flow, with a maximum of one breath and exhaled it. Through training, this is more than 20%. Rowers, swimmers and long-distance runners, with averages of 5000 ml compared with 3000 - 4000 ml for untrained in the first place.
Another simple, but very meaningful breath test, the shock value (1-second value or FEV 1). It will be tested, what percentage of vital capacity (VC) exhaled in one second can be, which should be at least 75% of vital capacity. With good function, it should be possible to make a candle at a distance of 1 m must. The shock value may respiratory allergies, hay fever and humiliated, for asthma in the attack, he always humiliated.
Under consideration by the appropriate medicines, for example, by spray against asthma, but can be driven sport. There are even some world champion and Olympic champion with asthma.
Especially in the open air is at the Sports and Recreation breaks in the dry, hot wind and clothing important. Wearing clothes adapted to temperature after the onion-shell principle can be respiratory infections such as colds, cough, or even a pneumonia largely avoided. These cold symptoms and a temperature increase to over 38 ° C should no longer driven sport and the doctor.
