Figure Lengend Snippet: Relationship between oxygen consumption measured at the dyspnea threshold (VO 2 DT; mL·kg −1 ·min −1 ) and the peak oxygen consumption (VO 2 peak; mL·kg −1 ·min −1 ), time to exhaustion (Tlim; sec) at 50% of maximal voluntary isometric force measured on isokinetic cybex, and the distance walked (D;m) during a 6 min walk test in CHD patient.

Article Snippet: To rule out a possible effect of the circadian rhythm, tests were conducted at least 2 h following lunch and at the same time of day, usually 2 p.m. On a separate day, a six-minute walking test and the lower limb strength were measured using a Cybex ® Norm II isokinetic dynamometer (Cybex-Lumex Inc, Ronkonkoma, NY, USA).

Article Snippet: The right knee extensor muscle strength and endurance were determined using an isokinetic dynamometer (A Cybex ® Norm II System, Sugar Land, TX, USA) with a designed computer program, including compensation for the torque due to the masses of the lower limb and the lever of the dynamometer.
