The combination of an inappropriate rapid heart rate response to exercise with heavy or rapid breathing is known as an exaggerated cardiorespiratory response to exercise. [3] Due to the confusion between muscle fatigue and muscle weakness, there have been instances of abnormal muscle fatigue being described as exercise-induced muscle weakness.
The CPET test measures exercise capacity and help determine whether the cause of exercise intolerance is due to heart disease or to other causes. [3] People who experience significant fatigue before reaching the anaerobic threshold usually have a non-cardiac cause for exercise intolerance. [3]
