The (V) over dot(E)/(V) over dot(CO2) Slope During Maximal Treadmill Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing REFERENCE STANDARDS FROM FRIEND (FITNESS REGISTRY AND THE IMPORTANCE OF EXERCISE: A NATIONAL DATABASE)

摘要

Purpose: Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) is the gold standard approach for the assessment of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). The primary aim of the current study was to determine reference standards for the minute ventilation/carbon dioxide production ((V) over dot(E)/(V) over dot(CO2)) slope in a cohort from the "Fitness Registry and the Importance of Exercise: A National Database" (FRIEND) Registry.
