Body composition, maximal fitness, and submaximal exercise function in people with interstitial lung disease
This study identified that ratio-standard scaling is sufficient in removing residual effects of body size from VO<sub>2peak</sub>, and that VO<sub>2peak</sub> is higher in women when FFM is considered. Encouragingly, this study also identified OUEP as a possible alternative submaximal marker in people with ILD, and thus warrants further examination.
