Treadmill testing resulted in significantly higher heart rates, systolic blood pressures, and double products than arm ergometer testing. The incidence of ST-segment depression was significantly greater with treadmill testing than with arm ergometer testing, but the incidence of angina was not different between tests.

Valuable prognostic and clinical information from treadmill exercise testing (GXT) includes exercise capacity (METs), heart rate, and electrocardiographic (ECG) responses. However, little or no prognostic data are available for arm ergometer stress testing (AXT).

This is the first study to investigate the effects of 12 weeks of arm ergometer or treadmill training on cardiorespiratory functions during treadmill exercise testing in patients with claudication, as compared to a usual care control group.

Arm ergometry may be the only means of exercise testing for persons who cannot perform treadmill or bicycle ergometer testing. To determine the effects of arm-cranking rate on cardiovascular responses, ten healthy college students underwent maximal graded exercise testing on the arm ergometer.

Eight elite professional America's Cup grinders performed two exercise trials, on an adjustable standing arm-crank ergometer with SRM powercrank, in a cross-over design.

Both groups showed similar improvements in arm ergometer testing while those trained with UAEx showed greater improvement in dowel testing (UAEx > SAEx, p = 0.002). In 17 patients VO2isotime (time at which patient performed pre-training and post-training tests) was measured during dowel testing.

The absence of upper extremity occlusive arterial disease was confirmed by equal arm blood pressures and pulse examinations and the absence of ischemic arm symptoms during arm ergometer testing. Patients with ischemic rest pain or ischemic ulceration in either leg were excluded from study.
