The objective of this document was to standardise published cardiopulmonary exercise
testing (CPET) protocols for improved interpretation in clinical settings and multicentre …

Regular exercise testing is recommended for all people with cystic fibrosis (PwCF). A range
of validated tests, which integrate both strength and aerobic function, are available and …

Background The 'verification phase'has emerged as a supplementary procedure to
traditional maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) criteria to confirm that the highest possible …

Background Several tests may be used to assess exercise intolerance in cystic fibrosis (CF),
including the gold standard cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) and the Modified Shuttle …

The study was conducted to compare peak oxygen uptake (VO 2peak) measured with the
incremental graded test (GXT)(VO 2 peak) and two tests to verify maximum oxygen uptake …

Background and aim A plateau in oxygen uptake (V˙ O 2) during an incremental
cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) to volitional exhaustion appears less likely to occur in …

Bronchiectasis is characterised by airflow obstruction and hyperinflation resulting in
respiratory muscle weakness, and decreased exercise capacity. Inspiratory muscle training …

Purpose Children born preterm have impaired lung function and altered lung structure.
However, there are conflicting reports on how preterm birth impacts aerobic exercise …

Cancer survivors demonstrate a reduced maximal oxygen uptake, which is clinically relevant
in terms of overall survival. However, it remains uncertain whether they attain their “true …

Background Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), and its primary outcome of peak
oxygen uptake (VO2peak), are acknowledged as biomarkers in the diagnostic and …
