Abstract
null null Similar to the peripheral skeletal muscles, the function of the respiratory skeletal muscles is affected by obesity. Obesity causes impairments to chest wall mechanics, reductions in lung volumes, and increased total respiratory system resistance. In addition, obesity-related chronic inflammation may also impair the contractile properties and force generating capacity of the respiratory muscles. These impairments and increased demands...
