| Variable | Control | Hyperpnea |
|---|---|---|
| Male/female | 5/3 | 5/5 |
| Age, yr | 24.4 ± 4.4 | 20.8 ± 1.0 |
| Height, m | 1.7 ± 0.1 | 1.7 ± 0.1 |
| Weight, kg | 66.1 ± 11.1 | 65.6 ± 13.2 |
| SVC, % normal | 106 ± 11.7 | 101 ± 8.6 |
| FVC, % normal | 102 ± 8.8 | 99.4 ± 9.6 |
| FEV1, % normal | 105 ± 11.9 | 97.2 ± 10.1 |
| FEV1/FVC | 86.3 ±− 5.8 | 83.8 ± 6.8 |
| PEF, % normal | 112 ± 12.3 | 102 ± 14.2 |
| MVV, % normal | 115 ± 20.7 | 107 ± 16.6 |
SVC, vital capacity; FVC, forced vital capacity; FEV1, forced expiratory volume 1 second; PEF, peak expiratory flow; MVV, maximal voluntary ventilation. There were no significant differences between groups. Values are means +/− standard deviation.
