Sentence examples for graded treadmill test from inspiring English sources
The primary study endpoint is maximum walking duration (MWD) on a graded treadmill test; secondary endpoints include community-based walking, markers of cardiovascular disease risk (body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure, lipid profile, glucose tolerance, and plasma fibrinogen), health-related quality of life, and cost effectiveness.
Breath-by-breath data obtained from indirect calorimetry during a graded treadmill test were used to measure substrate oxidation and maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) on 47 males (30 athletes (ATL) and 17 non-athletes (NATL)).
The cardiorespiratory fitness was assessed by a graded treadmill test (ATL-10.100, Inbramed, Porto Alegre, Brazil) according to the Bruce's modified protocol [19], and the maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) was calculated as previously described [17].
