Pulmonary declines may mark exertional limits in ultraendurance athletes; hypothesis-generating for monitoring and prospective validation.
Does extreme physical exertion during an ultraendurance triathlon affect heart rate, mean arterial blood pressure, and pulmonary function?
Extreme physical exertion during an ultraendurance triathlon is associated with declines in pulmonary function, which strongly correlate with overall race performance.
Seedhouse et al. (2006) studied this question.
