[Ventilatory response to hypercapnic stimulation in subjects of various somatic conditions].

Hypercapnic sensitivity was tested by rebreathing method in 30 healthy untrained non-obese men. The S coefficient (ventilatory sensitivity) dependence on the fat accumulation (kg and %) and on the muscle mass (%) was found during the factor, regression and correlation analyses. The dependence seems to be associated with the metabolism and energy supply of muscular activity in subjects of different bodily constitution.
