Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients with a lower limb amputation (unilateral transfemoral amputation, knee disarticulation or transtibial amputation).

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: The subjects will be excluded from this study if there is evidence or serious suspicion of coronary disease, stress or exercise related pain in the chest, untreated symptomatic arrhythmia*s (ventricular tachycardia or any rhythm significantly compromising cardiac function), hypertension with a diastolic bloodpressure of > 100 mm Hg or systolic bloodpressure > 180 mm Hg, acute pulmonary embolus, bilateral lower limb amputations or upper limb amputation, mental impairment leading to inability to cooperate or inability to obtain consent

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max in l/min)	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Gross Efficiency (% of external work performed to the total production of energy), metabolic equivalent of exercising (MET in 3.5 ml O2 /kg/min), maximal carbon dioxide output (VCO2 in liters per minute), heart rate (HR in beats per minute), maximal workload (W),blood pressure (BP in mmHg), breathing frequency (BF in breaths per minute) maximal ventilation (VE liters per minute), respiratory exchange rate (RER in %) and rate of perceiverd exertion (RPE in 10 point borg-scale)	—
