Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Agreement between sweat lactate threshold (sLT) and ventilatory threshold (VT) in patients who underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX), assessed by correlation coefficient and Bland-Altman analysis. The evaluation will be performed at baseline (registration). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
