Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) provides a thorough assessment of exercise integrative physiology involving the pulmonary, cardiovascular, muscular, and cellular oxidative systems. Unlike measurements that focus on individual organs, CPET provides a dynamic, overall picture of physiological function. This non-invasive test evaluates both submaximal and peak exercise responses, delivering valuable insights for clinical decision-making.
