Investigation of cardiopulmonary exercise testing using a dynamic leg press and comparison with a cycle ergometer
Abstract Background Leg-press machines are widely employed for musculoskeletal conditioning of the lower-limbs and they provide cardiovascular benefits for resistance training in cardiac patients. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of a dynamic leg press (DLP) for incremental cardio...
