"a ONES SECOND WIND
Anstion Of Action Familiar 10
Every Athlete 10 . Most
Simple One

The probable explanation OF the
second wind" is as follows; In the
deep breathing OF an athletic person
taking moderate exercise at sea level.
lack OF oxygen plays no part. The ef.
feet Is wholly due 10 an increased pro-
duction OF carbonic acid stimulating
the respiratory center, which responds
proportionaily. On very violent ex-
ertion at sea level. however. and on
even moderate exertion at a great al
titude. the oxygen supply to the It's
sues OF the body Is temporarily insuf-
ficient
Substances other than carbonic acid.
such as Tactic acid. are produced. and.
when these substances reach the re-
spiratory centers by the way OF the
blood they excite II TO such activity
that one overbreathes. That Is. the
violent painting ventilates the carbon
ic acid out OF the blood more rapidly
than the body Is producing II The
substances which thus overestimate
the respiratory center are not VIOLA
tile and cannot be given on by way
OF the lungs. but they appear TO be
rather rapidly oxydized in the blood.
When the carbonic acid has been
considerably diminished a part OF the
stimulus to the respiratory center is
removed so that one can breathe more
moderateiy-that is. one gets his sec.
ond wind" When the exertion stops,
the production Of the stimulating sub
stances ceases. and the quantity OF
carbonic acid in the blood having been
reduced below the amount necessary
to stimulate the respiratory center,
one falls into a period Of apnoea fol.
lowed by Cheyne-Stokes breathing
like an engine with sensitive gov
ernor and no hywheel. Breathing
oxygen under these conditions hastens
the combustion OF the acid substances
which have accumulated in the blood
