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).
