| Popis: | SummarySignificant correlations were obtained in patients with diverse cardio-respiratory diseases, and varying disability, between the oxygen gradient of the lungs, the oxygen tension of the peripheral tissues during rest, and the physical fitness index of exercise tolerance. Working capacity is proportional to the availability of oxygen to the tissues, and the limiting factor is circulatory in nature. |
