Our results indicate that ventilatory compensation for the inspiratory flow- resistiveload is better during oral breathing than during nasal breathing.

Post-6-min walk test dyspnea scores correlated significantly with dyspnea scores induced by resistiveloads.

We also evaluated the correlation between dyspnea scores induced by resistiveloads and by the 6-min walk test.

These results suggest that lung vagal afferents do not play a significant role in magnitude estimation of inspiratory resistiveloads in humans.
