Abstract
The primary inspiratory muscle in mammals is the diaphragm. Endurance exercise elevates both the oxidative and antioxidant capacity of the costal and crural diaphragm. These exercise-induced changes in oxidative and antioxidant capacity occur rapidly after the onset of training and are associated with reduced oxidative injury and improved diaphragmatic endurance.
