Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of encouragement on walking test performance.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate the need for careful standardisation of the performance of walking tests, and suggest caution in interpreting studies in which standardisation is not a major feature of the study design.
Journal ArticleDOI

Normal standards for an incremental progressive cycle ergometer test.

TL;DR: The VO2 increased linearly with power throughout the test; in an individual subject, the intercept of this relationship was positively influenced by weight and height, and the maximal tidal volume was related to vital capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Muscle strength, symptom intensity, and exercise capacity in patients with cardiorespiratory disorders

TL;DR: The results emphasize the need for an integrative approach in the assessment and therapeutic management of exercise intolerance, which considers the contribution of muscle weakness to excessive symptoms and reduced work capacity, in addition to the contributions of ventilatory, gas exchange, and circulatory impairments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exercise capacity and ventilatory, circulatory, and symptom limitation in patients with chronic airflow limitation.

TL;DR: VEmax/VEcap and HRmax/HRcap were not significantly different in those limited by dyspnea, leg fatigue, or a combination of both in patients with chronic airflow limitation.
Journal ArticleDOI

How should we measure function in patients with chronic heart and lung disease

TL;DR: It is suggested that exercise capacity in the laboratory can be differentiated from functional exercise capacity (the ability to undertake physically demanding activities of daily living) and that the walk test provides a good measure of function in patients with heart and lung disease.
