Abstract

Spiroergometric exercise test and a six-minute march test are methods for assessing the exercise capacity. They are used to determine diagnostic and prognostic information, treatment and its effectiveness. The article presents the main parameters evaluated during the tests. The examined disease entities were presented and described, and conclusions from the research were drawn.
