Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary outcome variable in the study is: time trial endurance performance test (sec). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Other parameters that will be measured at rest are: FEV1 (L/sec), FVC (L), Quality of life (questionnaire), ADL (questionnaire). Parameters that will be measured during maximal exercise are Peak VE (L/min), Peak VO2 (L/min), Peak CO2 output (L/min), SaO2 (%) HR (beats/min), dyspnea (visual analog scale), f (breaths/min), peak power (W), energy expenditure (Joules). PAEE will be measured during 7 days of free living by combined sensing of acceleration and heart rate with Actiheart-monitors. | — |
