Abstract

A rebreathing technique is described for measuring FRC during exercise. Good agreement was found between this technique and a standard helium dilution method using a water spirometer at rest. Measurements of FRC in ten volunteers showed a significant decrease of FRC at the onset of progressive exercise. The FRC remained significantly smaller than the resting value up to loads of 150 W.
