Exercise testing has become an essential tool in the management of patients with CAL. In addition to its ability to assess exercise limitation objectively, it has usefulness in detecting the presence or absence of associated disease processes, in assessing the response to therapies, in allowing assessment of the importance of psychological factors in exercise limitation, and in guiding prescription for exercise rehabilitation programs. Although much is known about the clinical usefulness of exercise testing in this disease, and much has been learned about how this disease functionally impairs the exercise capacity of the patient, additional study is necessary to appreciate fully the physiologic abnormalities demonstrated by patients with CAL during exercise.
运动测试已成为慢性阻塞性肺疾病（CAL）患者管理中的一项重要工具。除了能够客观评估运动受限情况外，它在检测相关疾病过程的存在与否、评估对治疗的反应、评估心理因素在运动受限中的重要性以及指导运动康复计划的处方方面也很有用。尽管对于运动测试在这种疾病中的临床实用性已有很多了解，并且对于这种疾病如何在功能上损害患者的运动能力也有了很多认识，但仍需要进一步研究，以充分了解慢性阻塞性肺疾病患者在运动期间所表现出的生理异常。
