Respiratory Consequences of Mild-to-Moderate Obesity: Impact on Exercise Performance in Health and in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Figure 6
Oxygen consumption (VO2), ventilation, tidal volume, and breathing frequency () are shown in response to symptom-limited cycle exercise in obese (OB) and normal weight (NW) subjects with COPD. Values are means ± SEM. OB versus NW at standardized work rates or at peak exercise, modified from Ora et al. [13].
