A maximal incremental cycle ergometer protocol was conducted in accordance with the ATS recommendations18 using a CardiO2 System® (MedGraphics). The following parameters were determined: oxygen uptake (VO2; mL·min-1); carbon dioxide output (VCO2; mL·min-1); respiratory exchange ratio; minute ventilation (VE, L·min-1); tidal volume (VT, mL); and RR (breaths/min). The mean VO2 for the last 15 seconds of the ramp was considered as the peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak). During the test, 12-lead electrocardiography, blood pressure, and pulse oximetry values were monitored. In addition, dyspnea and leg fatigue were assessed by the modified Borg scale every two minutes.19Dynamic relationships were determined to evaluate metabolic (∆VO2/∆workload [W]; mL·min-1·W-1), cardiovascular (∆HR/∆VO2; beats·min-1·L·min-1), and respiratory (∆VE/∆VCO2; L·min-1·L·min-1) responses, as previously described.20 Ventilatory reserve was calculated using the VE at exercise cessation/maximal voluntary ventilation ratio as a reference.

Standardized Cardiopulmonary Testing for Rehabilitation

Standardized cardiopulmonary testing was performed after the muscular strength assessment and after allowing patients to rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour. A modified Bruce protocol was used for treadmill exercise testing as outlined previously [16 , 17 (link)]. Heart rate and peak VO2 were determined throughout testing, as described elsewhere [9 (link), 16 ]. We used the Medgraphics CardiO2 system (St. Paul, MN, USA) to perform continuous breath-by-breath analyses, which relied on inspired and expired gases, flow, and volume. Initial treadmill speed was set at 1.7 miles/hour, and incline was set at 0%. Patients were strongly encouraged to finish 3-minute stages. Once patients reached their peak volitional effort, the testing was stopped. Both heart rate and peak VO2 were used to determine the intensity target for rehabilitation exercises. Further analysis of peak VO2 was performed to adjust for lean body mass. Analysis of peak VO2 as a function of lean body mass has been shown to give a better representation of actual cardiopulmonary fitness [18 , 19 (link)].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
