Abstract
Functional capacity testing is a cornerstone of cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation, offering objective measures of physiological response to exercise. It facilitates personalized prescription, progress monitoring, and outcome assessment using parameters like VO2, VE, HR, and BP. Tests such as CPET, ISWT, and 6MWT are crucial for evaluating exercise capacity, risk stratification, and guiding interventions in various cardiopulmonary conditions. Serial testing and technological advancements enhance its utility. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
