Peak exercise capacity estimated from incremental shuttle walking test in patients with COPD: a methodological study

BACKGROUND: In patients with COPD, both laboratory exercise tests and field walking tests are used to assess physical performance. In laboratory tests, peak exercise capacity in watts (W peak) and/or peak oxygen uptake (VO(2 )peak) are assessed, whereas the performance on walking tests usually is ex...
