  • The values are expressed in mean ±SD.

  • Dia BP, diastolic blood pressure; HR, heart rate; MAP, mean arterial pressure; O2 Pulse = VO2/HR; OUES , oxygen uptake efficiency slope;  pwP, people with Parkinson’s disease; RER, respiratory exchange ratio; RPE, rating of perceive exertion (CR-10); Sys BP, systolic diastolic blood pressure; VE, ventilation.
