We performed a maximal exercise test (VO2max) and measured endothelial function using venous occlusion plethysmography and intra-arterial infusion of acetylcholine, sodium nitroprusside and NG-monomethyl-l-arginine.
We reported that the Dalhousie scales accurately track dyspnea and perceived exertion during a maximal exercise test in a pediatric population of individuals with and without respiratory disease [12].
Healthy adult subjects performed a maximal exercise test with step increments of either, 50, 100, or 150 kpm/min depending on a subject's size and age on an electrically braked Collins ergometer.

No subject had evidence of clinical diabetic complications, coronary artery disease (CAD), hypertension, congestive heart failure, or thyroid or overt renal disease, and all had a negative maximal exercise test.
The method has been validated against directly measured VO2peak during the maximal exercise test and has been previously described in detail [3].
The maximal exercise test is performed under medical supervision.
