[Contribution to the assessment of physical fitness in patients with pulmonary diseases on the basis of cardiopulmonary and ergometric parameters (author's transl)].

In 270 patients with COLD, bronchial asthma, exogenic allergic alveolitis or fibrosis of the lung measurements of VC, FEV 1,0, Rt, RV, DL CO, CL, PO2 and PAP (by means of floating catheter) were made. Results of measurements at rest and during exercise were compared after statistical treatment in the above groups and their value with regard to the determination of physical fitness was appreciated.
