Validation of the Modified Shuttle Test to Predict Peak Oxygen Uptake in Youth Asthma Patients Under Regular Treatment

Validation of the Modified Shuttle Test to Predict Peak Oxygen Uptake in Youth Asthma Patients Under Regular Treatment

Background: Oxygen uptake (VO2) evaluations by cardiopulmonary exercise test is expensive and time-consuming. Estimating VO2 based on a field test would be an alternative.Objective: To develop and validate an equation to predict VO2peak based on the modified shuttle test (MST).Methods: Cross section...
