Abstract :
Using a criterion of minimization of total respiratory work during a complete respiratory cycle, an expression has been derived for prediction of the inhalation time/exhalation time ratio. Comparison of calculated results to experimental data is favorable. The expression also predicts a rectangular waveshape during exercise, and this result agrees well with experimental and theoretical findings previously published.
