Figure 1From: Endurance-training in healthy men is associated with lesser exertional breathlessness that correlates with circulatory-muscular conditioning markers in a cross-sectional designDescription of physical activity, conditioning markers and ventilatory demand in inactive and endurancetrained men. A] Total physical activity scores (total IPAQ, see Methods), B] Circulatory-muscular conditioning markers ( V • O2 at ventilatory threshold (VT), heart rate (ΔHR) / Δ V • O2 slope, peak oxygen pulse) and C] PaCO2 and ventilatory efficiency (Δ V • E/Δ V • O2 and Δ V • E/Δ V • CO2 slopes) markers in inactive (n = 31, white symbols) and endurance-trained (n = 31, grey symbols) men. Data are shown as medians, interquartile range, and extreme values. *p < 0.05.Back to article page
