Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the most outcome measure used to examined the exercise capacity to exercise?
A
Borg scale
B
Sit to stand test
C
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing
D
Mini-mental state examination
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Most clinical systems rely on breath‐by‐breath analysis techniques because they provide the best measures of the metabolic response to exercise.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is a dynamic, non-invasive assessment of the cardiopulmonary system at rest and during exercise. Deficiencies in the CPET-derived variables anaerobic threshold, peak oxygen consumption, and ventilatory efficiency for carbon dioxide are associated with poor postoperative outcomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Peak VO2-Exercise capacity can be quantitated clinically by measurement of oxygen uptake (VO2), carbon dioxide production (VCO2), and minute ventilation [6].
