Project Heart rate and Ventilation During Submaximal Cycling Exercise Reveal Physiological Inefficiency in Boys with DMD
The researchers measured heart rate and oxygen‑efficiency slope during submaximal cycling in 11 ambulatory and 3 non‑ambulatory boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and 7 healthy peers. They found higher heart rates and lower OUES/BSA in the DMD groups, indicating inefficient cardiorespiratory responses.
