The Muscular Origin of Breathlessness - Dr's Jensen & Lewthaite

Episode 4:The Muscular Origin of Breathlessness In this episode Dr Sara Booth talks to Dr Dennis Jensen and Dr Hayley Lewthaite Show Notes The physiology of breathlessness How past experience affects the psychology of breathlessness Fear and the mismatch between ventilation expectation and physical capability. Exercise: The cause and the treatment Improving the effective dimensions of breathlessness The benefit and problems  of individualised research Peer & supported exercise experiences After care models Bios Dennis Jensen is an Associate Professor at the Dept of Kinesiology & Physical Education, McGill University; Canada Research Chair in Clinical Exercise & Respiratory Physiology. Dennis's research  focuses on identifying the causes of activity-related breathing discomfort (dyspnea) and exercise intolerance in health, variants of health (e.g., elderly, obesity) and in patients with chronic cardiorespiratory disease, specifically chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. https://twitter.com/drj9378 [https://twitter.com/drj9378] https://www.mcgill.ca/cerpl/dennis-jensen-phd [https://www.mcgill.ca/cerpl/dennis-jensen-phd] Hayley Lewthwaite is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Clinical Exercise and Respiratory Physiology Laboratory of McGill University, Montreal, Canada.
