Impairment on Cardiopulmonary Function after Marathon: Role of Exhaled Nitric Oxide

Table 4

Cardiopulmonary function behaviour before and after marathon.

Variable	Before marathon	After marathon	value
HR at rest (bpm)			NS
Peak HR (bpm)			NS
Peak speed (km/h)			NS
Peak VO2 (mL·kg^-1·min^-1)			<0.01
Peak VE (L/min)			<0.05
O2 pulse (mL·btm)			NS
Peak PetO2			<0.05
VE/VCO2 slope			NS

Data are shown in mean±standard deviation. HR: heart rate; VO₂: oxygen consumption; VE: ventilation; O₂: oxygen; PetO₂: end-tidal oxygen tension.
