Ventilation/carbon dioxide production (V<sub>E</sub>/VCO<sub>2slope</sub>) is used clinically to determine cardiorespiratory fitness and morbidity in heart failure (HF). Previously, we demonstrated that lower lean leg mass is associated with high V<sub>E</sub>/VCO<sub>2slope</sub> during exercise in HF. In healthy individuals, we evaluated 1) whether V<sub>E</sub>/VCO<sub>2slope</sub> differed between lean and overweight women and 2) the relationship between lean leg mass and V<sub>E</sub>/VCO<s ...[more]
