Lungs & Muscles

Lungs & Muscles

Have you noticed that when you go for a run, or undertake some other form of physical exertion, that one of either your lungs or muscles might "request" a break before the other?

We asked David if he would kindly put the whole question into some form of order, and perhaps also identify if any other issues are relevant to which part of the body "goes" first.

As always, here is the full transcript of both question and answer...

Question:

"Hi David, and all,

"I have noticed that when I go running or do similar exercise for as long as I can, say, one of either my lungs or my muscles seems to give out and cause me to feel the need to stop before the other.

"Noticeably, whilst I was unfit, the lungs would cause me to stop quite soon, whilst on most days, at that point, the muscles were okay to continue.

"And it seems more the case now that I am fitter that the muscles and joints start to ache long before the lungs are demanding a rest or breather.
