Intense endurance training may reduce hypocapnic hyperventilation range in cyclists; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does endurance training affect the isocapnic buffering and hypocapnic hyperventilation phases in professional cyclists?
Endurance training in professional cyclists reduces the hypocapnic hyperventilation range without altering the isocapnic buffering range.
Chicharro et al. (2000) studied this question.
