Figure 1. Comparison of (A) forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), (B) peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak), and (C) breathing reserve (BR) between healthy individuals and patients with asthma and cystic fibrosis (CF). Comparisons were performed using the one-way ANOVA followed by the Bonferroni post-hoc test. *indicates significant differences atp <0.05, **indicates significant differences atp <0.001, and ****indicates significant differences atp <0.0001.
Figure 2. Comparison of ventilatory equivalent for oxygen consumption (VEVO2) and ventilatory equivalent for carbon dioxide production (VEVCO2) at the ventilatory threshold (VT1) (A) and (B), and peak exercise (C) and (D), respectively, between healthy individuals and patients with asthma and cystic fibrosis (CF). Comparisons were performed using the one-way ANOVA followed by the Bonferroni post-hoc test. *indicates significant differences at p <0.05, **indicates significant differences at p <0.001, and ****indicates significant differences at p <0.0001.
