exercise test

ex·er·cise test

any test using exercise to determine the patient's physiologic responses, physical condition, or both.

exercise test

Cardiology Any clinical method used to evaluate a person's cardiovascular responsiveness–ie, tolerance–to exercise. See Treadmill exercise test.

Basically, the function of the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems is to maintain the cellular respiration and nutrition process, and one way of assessing this function is through the analysis of V[O.sub.2] and the production of carbon dioxide (VC[O.sub.2]), which in turn vary with therefore, the use of a cardiopulmonary exercise test in which V[O.sub.2] and VC[O.sub.2] can be determined directly, ultimately reflects the integrity of these systems as well as their adaptations during exercise (Neto and contributors, 2001).
