Abstract
Respiratory changes induced by alteration of posture outstrip con- comitant metabolic increases as verticality is approached. Increases in ventilation in vertical postures appear to be secondary to interference with blood flow to the head. Postural sway is a factor of material benefit in combating orthostatic hyperpnea.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
