Does cycle ergometer exercise alter ventilatory and acid-base responses compared to treadmill exercise at comparable levels of O2 uptake in male subjects?
Cycle ergometry induces a greater degree of metabolic acidosis and correspondingly higher ventilation than treadmill exercise at comparable oxygen uptakes.
Koyal et al. (1976) studied this question.
