Cardiorespiratory fitness
Cardiopulmonary fitness will be measured by Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) to assess the integrated function of the cardiovascular, pulmonary, and muscular systems during exercise. The gold-standard parameter obtained from CPET is: VO₂max VO₂max: Maximum rate of oxygen consumption achieved during maximal exercise. Units: mL/kg/min
Lower Limb Function
Lower limb function will be measured by 10-Meter Walk Test (10MWT) is a simple and reliable measure of walking speed, Assesses: Gait speed Procedure Mark a 10-meter walkway. The patient will walks at: Comfortable/self-selected speed (usual gait speed) Walking Speed (m/s)= Distance (m) /Time (s)
