Summary
This study looked at 64 adults over age 65 to see if easy, non-invasive bedside tests (like muscle size and physical function checks) can predict how fit their heart and lungs are. Participants did a cycling test to measure oxygen use, while researchers also used ultrasound to check leg muscles. The goal was to find simpler ways to assess fitness without needing special exercise equipment.
