Modeling the oxygen uptake kinetics during exercise testing of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases using nonlinear mixed models

Abstract Background The six-minute walk test (6MWT) is commonly used to quantify exercise capacity in patients with several cardio-pulmonary diseases. Oxygen uptake ( V ̇ $\dot {\mathrm {V}}$ O2) kinetics during 6MWT typically follow 3 distinct phases (rest, exercise, recovery) that can be modeled b...
