  • Image Result
    The respiratory volume per minute (AVM) was only slightly increased for the patients in the 2 lower treadmill speeds but was almost doubled in the highest treadmill speed as compared with the controls

    The respiratory volume per minute (AVM) was only slightly increased for the patients in the 2 lower treadmill speeds but was almost doubled in the highest treadmill speed as compared with the controls. All differences, however, were significant. *P<.01; P<.001.
