Reproducibility of incremental maximal cycle ergometer testing in patients with restrictive lung disease.
BACKGROUND Exercise testing has become an important tool in the diagnosis and treatment of restrictive lung disease. The reproducibility of variables measured during exercise testing was examined in subjects with stable restrictive lung disease. METHODS Six subjects, who had never previously undergone exercise testing, each underwent three maximal incremental exercise studies on a bicycle erg...
متن کاملReproducibility of maximal exercise ergometer testing in patients with cystic fibrosis.
OBJECTIVES Exercise testing in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) has become an important tool in assessing disease severity and predicting overall outcome. The reproducibility of maximal exercise testing was examined in adult subjects with stable CF. METHODS Nine subjects with CF underwent a total of three maximal exercise tests carried out under identical circumstances over a 28-day period....
متن کامل6-minute walk testing is more sensitive than maximal incremental cycle testing for detecting oxygen desaturation in patients with COPD.
STUDY OBJECTIVES Some respiratory patients exhibit oxygen desaturation during rehabilitative walking but not during maximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). We evaluated exercise-induced desaturation during 6-min walk testing (6MWT) in comparison with CPET in patients with COPD and determined the reproducibility of the phenomenon. PATIENTS We tested 80 consecutive patients with COPD (...
متن کاملMaximal Oxygen Uptake cannot be Determined in the Incremental Phase of The Lactate Minimum Test on a Cycle Ergometer.
The aim of this study was to investigate the maximal oxygen uptake (VO2MAX) determined using the incremental phase of the lactate minimum test (LM) on a cycle ergometer. Fifteen trained men were submitted to a graded exercise test (GXT) to evaluate the VO2MAX and LM. The total durations of the GXT and LM were 11.2±1.8 minutes (CI95%:10.2-12.3 minutes) and 25.3±3.2 minutes (CI95%:23.5-27.0), res...
