During the tests, pulmonary gas exchange was measured (VO2000; Medical Graphics Corporation, St. Paul, MN).Results: See Table 1.View this table:Metabolic and ventilatory demands during ADLsConclusions: Simple everyday activities such as walking, carrying weights, and climbing flights of stairs require a high metabolic demand with low ventilatory requirement and perception of effort.
