In 13 healthy men at rest and dosed muscular loads the authors studied maximal rates of the mouth pressure at the onset of inhalation and expiration (dP/dtI, dP/dtE) as well as the respiratory pattern. The parameter dP/dtE positively correlated with that of dP/dtI which reflects, as is known, an inspiratory activity of the respiratory center. The authors think that dP/dtE parameter can be used for noninvasive determination of expiratory activity.
