Comparison of the sitting-to-standing cycle ergometry versus treadmill approach to graded exercise testing on cardiorespiratory values in overweight people with mild asthma

The purpose of this study was to: (a) determine if standing on a cycle ergometer (Stand CE) increases V[O.sub.2] max to the equivalent of values obtained by a treadmill (TM); and (b) describe the combined effects of being overweight and having asthma on exercise cardiorespiratory variables. Subjects...

Description
Summary:The purpose of this study was to: (a) determine if standing on a cycle ergometer (Stand CE) increases V[O.sub.2] max to the equivalent of values obtained by a treadmill (TM); and (b) describe the combined effects of being overweight and having asthma on exercise cardiorespiratory variables. Subjects were overweight people with asthma (OWAS, n = 10) and those of normal weight and normal lungs (NWNL, n = 15). Groups differed (P
