Exercise during outgassing stages will promote inert gas elimination, reducing decompression stress, but higher intensity exercise at a time of high decompression stress may raise local tissue stress sufficiently to promote bubble formation and growth, particularly in joints, where perfusion is limited.
Pulmonary edema (British English: oedema), also known as pulmonary congestion, is excessive fluid accumulation in the tissue or air spaces (usually alveoli) of the lungs. [1] This leads to impaired gas exchange , most often leading to shortness of breath ( dyspnea ) which can progress to hypoxemia and respiratory failure .
Gas is breathed at ambient pressure, and some of this gas dissolves into the blood and other fluids. Inert gas continues to be taken up until the gas dissolved in the tissues is in a state of equilibrium with the gas in the lungs (see saturation diving), or the ambient pressure is reduced until the inert gases dissolved in the tissues are at a higher concentration than the equilibrium state ...
Inert gas continues to be taken up until the gas dissolved in the diver is in a state of equilibrium with the breathing gas in the diver's lungs, (see: "Saturation diving"), or the diver moves up in the water column and reduces the ambient pressure of the breathing gas until the inert gases dissolved in the tissues are at a higher concentration ...
Abdominal distension occurs when substances, such as air (gas) or fluid, accumulate in the abdomen causing its expansion. [1] It is typically a symptom of an underlying disease or dysfunction in the body, rather than an illness in its own right. People with this condition often describe it as "feeling bloated".

Burping can also be used as a form of relief from abdominal discomfort other than too much gas in the stomach. [citation needed] Flatulence, or farting, provides relief of much the same kind as burping, but involves the passage of gas from the body via the anus, not the mouth. Bacteria present in the intestinal tract cause gas that is expelled ...
Exercise for diabetes: Exercise is a particularly potent tool for glucose control in those who have diabetes mellitus. In a situation of elevated blood glucose ( hyperglycemia ), moderate exercise can induce greater glucose disposal than appearance, thereby decreasing total plasma glucose concentrations.
