Nine male Physical Education students were selected to test the hypothesis that addition of CO₂ to the inspired air during recovery will cause significant increases in ventilation above control conditions and that recovery from submaximal exercise will be enhanced by the addition of 2.78% or 5.80% CO₂ to room air. The exercise was administered for six minutes at a workload predetermined to elicit 75% of his maximal oxygen uptake. The dependent variables (heart rate, ventilation, oxygen uptake, and carbon dioxide elimination) were subjected to a one way analysis of variance and significant F ratios evaluated using Dunnett's Test.
Ventilation is increased significantly (p<.05) above control values with the addition of 5.80% CO₂ to room air during recovery however, there is no significant increase in oxygen uptake. The addition of 2.78% CO₂ to room air during recovery does not significantly (p>.05) increase ventilation; there is however a significant (p<.05) increase in oxygen uptake in the first 30 seconds of recovery. Neither treatment effect causes significant changes in heart rate. The addition of 5.80% CO₂ to the inspired air significantly (p<.05) reduces carbon dioxide elimination. In 4 subjects, the effect produced a carbon dioxide uptake at certain time intervals. The addition of 2.78% CO₂ to the inspired air caused a significant (p<.05) reduction of carbon dioxide elimination in the first minute of recovery. / Education, Faculty of / Curriculum and Pedagogy (EDCP), Department of / Graduate
