Estimating Peak Work Rate during Incremental Cycle Ergometry from the 6-minute Walk Distance: Differences between Reference Equations

Background: Prescription of an appropriate exercise training intensity is critical to optimise the outcomes of pulmonary rehabilitation; however, prescribing cycle ergometry training is challenging if peak work is unknown. Recently two studies reported regression equations which allow estimation of...
