NON-INVASIVE MEASUREMENT OF VENTILATION DURING EXERCISE USING A RESPIRATORY INDUCTIVE PLETHYSMOGRAPH .1.

Abstract
The respiratory inductive plethysmograph, a monitor of ventilation that does not require a connection from the airway, was validated against spirometry during moderate exercise using a bicycle ergometer and a treadmill. A total of 173 of 200 breaths during bicycle exercise from 6 young adults and 211 of 242 breaths during treadmill walking were within .+-. 20% of the tidal volumes measured by simulataneous spirometry. The respiratory inductive plethysmograph appears to be a useful non-invasive monitor of [human] ventilation during exercise.
