Cardiopulmonary Response to Exercise in COPD and Overweight Patients: Relationship between Unloaded Cycling and Maximal Oxygen Uptake Profiles

Figure 2

Relationships between minute ventilation measured at the ventilatory threshold (VE threshold) and maximal oxygen uptake (VEmax) during an incremental cycling exercise and the maximal VE changes measured at 120 s of unloaded cycling exercise. All subjects were pooled together for this analysis. Regression line with 95% confidence intervals.
