Clinical application of exercise testing.
Direct measurement of oxygen consumption during monitored exercise can safely be used for assessment of functional reserve in established cardiorespiratory disease. Indirect prediction of aerobic capacity enables the clinical application of exercise testing to be extended outside the laboratory setting. Information so obtained can provide useful guidelines when one is prescribing exercise for the prevention and rehabilitation of ischaemic heart disease.
