Exercise Tolerance in Chronic Airway Obstruction1, 2
Abstract
Fifty men with chronic diffuse airway obstruction were studied to assess the extent to which symptom questionnaires, step-test responses, and lung function data predicted working capacity as measured in a progressive, unsteady state, exercise test on a cycle ergometer. Working capacity correlated significantly with grade of dyspnea, an observer's assessment of step-test responses, and with forced expiratory volume in one second and pulmonary …
