Özet
Clinical exercise tests aim to help diagnosis, pre-operative assessment, risk determination, clinical follow-up, response to the treatment and assessment of the disability. The following tests are generally used in pulmonary diseases: Stair Climbing Test: It is the easiest and the most economic clinical exercise test. It is used for the assessment of functional capacity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and post-operative complication risk in thoracic surgery. Six-Minute Walk Test: This is the most common exercise test for evaluating pulmonary diseases. The advantage of the test is that patients can complete the test by increasing their speed if respiratory insufficiency occur during the test. Shuttle Test: Two different types of the tests are incremental shuttle and endurance shuttle walking tests. Incremental shuttle walking test is used for the determination the peak oxygen consumption. During the endurance shuttle walking the speed is held constant. This test is suitable for the assessment of the pulmonary rehabilitation programs. Exercise-Induced Bronchospasm Test: Generally a 6 to 8-minutes trenuous exercise, which increases the FEV1 approximately 20fold, is required to estimate exercise-induced bronchospasm. Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET): CPET is accepted as gold standard in the evaluation of exercise intolerance. It is used in the preparation of rehabilitation programs and exercise prescriptions and evaluation of the pre-andpost-surgical condition. Systemic responses to the exercises are investigated best by incremental exercise tests. There fore, two equipments; the treadmill and the cycle ergometer, can be used. Values of VO2, VCO2, oxygen saturation, heart rate and systemic blood pressure, and ECG can be followed during CPET. During the test it is important to evaluate patient's perceptions about the test, dyspnea, chest pain and fatigue and to determine the limit of the workload when patients can not continue to the test.
