Table 1.

Data from multiple studies pertaining to the effects of type 2 diabetes mellitus on peak heart rate (HR), peak oxygen uptake (V˙O2), and the time constant of oxygen uptake (V˙O2τ). Mean values are presented and the “Mean” corresponds to the average of the mean values from each study. “%diff” is the percentage difference between control and diabetic subjects. C = control subjects. DM = type 2 diabetes mellitus. “Mode” of exercise testing is cycling (C) or treadmill (T).
