PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine whether @entity1353 ratings would be similar during submaximal (as used for training) and incremental (as used in testing) exercise at specific intensities in @entity1 with @entity1030 ( @entity1030 ). METHODS: We studied 20 @entity1 with @entity1030 . Age was 66 +/- 9 yr (mean +/- SD); FEV1 was 43 +/- 14% pred. At Visit 1 @entity1 provided @entity1353 ratings (0 to 10 scale) each minute during incremental exercise on the cycle ergometer. At Visit 2 @entity1 rated @entity1353 during production of submaximal exercise for 10 min at two intensities. RESULTS: Peak @entity26 consumption (VO2) was 13.9 +/- 3.2 mL.kg-1.min-1. At visit 2 VO2 was stable, but @entity1353 ratings increased slightly. Dyspnea ratings (2.0 +/- 1.2) during submaximal exercise were higher than during incremental exercise (1.1 +/- 0.7) at 55 +/- 8% of peak VO2 (P = 0.02) but were similar (4.3 +/- 1.5 vs 3.9 +/- 1.5) at 77 +/- 8% of peak VO2 (P = 0.40). CONCLUSIONS: In @entity1 with @entity1030 , @entity1353 ratings were similar during steady state compared with equivalent levels of incremental exercise at a "high" intensity, but were slightly higher at the "low" exercise intensity. These data support the potential use of @entity1353 ratings obtained during incremental exercise as a target for exercise training in @entity1 with @entity1576 .
