From: Maximal exercise in obese patients with COPD: the role of fat free mass
Mean and standard deviation values of rest and peak IC/TLC ( upper panel ) and O 2 Pulse ( lower panel ) in relation to the corresponding rest and peak VO 2 values in 22 normal weight and in 22 obese patients with COPD. Mean IC/TLC value was significantly higher at rest (p < 0.01), but not at peak of exercise, mean O2Pulse and VO2 value were significantly higher at peak of exercise (p < 0.05), but not at rest of exercise in OB as compared to NW.
