• Highlights ► The tidal volume inflection during exercise in patients with mild stable asthma marks a mechanical event with important sensory consequences only when it occurs at a critical reduced inspiratory reserve volume. ► Changes in dynamic respiratory mechanics from before to after the tidal volume inflection point do influence the ability to perceive critical mechanical constraints on tidal volume expansion even in mild stable asthma. ► The analysis of qualitative aspects of breathlessness enhances our understanding of the sensory mechanisms of symptom perception in mild stable asthmatics during cycle exercise, and may have important clinical implications in both the management and the therapeutic evaluation of these patients.
