Abstract
Exercise tests are widely used to assess response to therapeutic interventions in patients with COPD. The choice of test depends on (1) the outcome(s) of interest, which may include changes in maximum, submaximum or functional exercise capacity and/or the mechanisms underpinning any changes; (2) the intervention being assessed; (3) the patient's characteristics and (4) the resources available. These factors will be discussed in relation to cycling and walking tests, as these are the tests most commonly used in clinical practice and research.
