Similar responses below lactate threshold may inform submaximal testing protocols; leaves open validation in clinical populations.
Do ventilatory and gas exchange responses to arm exercise differ from leg exercise in healthy subjects?
Ventilatory and gas exchange responses to arm exercise do not differ substantially from leg exercise as long as power output does not elevate blood lactate.
CASABURI et al. (1992) studied this question.
