"Pulmonologists, cardiologists, and sports physicians, as well as respiratory therapists and other allied health professionals, will find this book an indispensable resource when learning to select proper instruments, identify the most appropriate test protocols, and integrate and interpret physiologic response variables. The final chapter presents clinical cases to illuminate useful strategies for exercise testing and interpretation.
