Effect of modality on cardiopulmonary exercise testing in male and female COPD patients

Highlights • We compared the cardiorespiratory responses to exercise testing in COPD patients. • Physiological responses between treadmill and cycle CPET were similar. • Physiological responses were similar between sexes. • Either modality can be used when testing mild/moderate COPD patients....
