Fig. 1 Illustration of rest tidal flow-volume loop (TV), expiratory reserve volume (ERV) and exercise tidal flow-volume loop (FVLex) plotted within maximal flow-volume loop (MFVL) of two representative subjects of RMI and CG during CWET, at HIGH intensity. Expiratory flow limitation (EFL) was defined as the percentage of the expiratory FVLex that reached or surpassed the MFVL obtained at pre-CWET pulmonary function test.
