Exercise modality influences oxygen pulse flattening during incremental cardiopulmonary exercise testing in healthy adults.
PURPOSE To compare oxygen pulse (O₂P) responses during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in healthy adults using two ergometers, Treadmill and Cycle ergometer, and to determine the prevalence of O₂P flattening and the modality-specific characteristics of O₂P curve dynamics. METHODS Thirty-four healthy adults (2...
