Exercise tests in lung diseases 1. Exercise-induced asthma (EIA) - FEV 1 2. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) - SAT 3. Exercise tolerance in rehabilitation (COPD) cardiopulmonary exercise (CPX). Important variables: - work rate (watts), Sp. O 2, ABG - VO 2, VCO 2, RQ, VE - lactate threshold (LT) - breathing reserve (1 -VEmax/MVV) - heart rate reserve (1 -HRmax/220 -age)
