Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Do heart rate-based protocols for exercise challenge testing ensure sufficient exercise intensity for inducing exercise-induced bronchial obstruction?
Answer: These results show that the ATS standard protocol, using a heart rate formula for assessing the exercise intensity, is not sufficient to cause predominantly anaerobic lactate metabolism and hence exercise-induced hyperventilation. Therefore, a potential bronchial obstruction could not be induced in 56% of the subjects. For a sensitive study design, exercise intensities demanding anaerobic lactate metabolism should always be ensured. A more precise protocol is required.
Output (English): no
