In 2003, Courneya and colleagues (26) published a randomized controlled trial (level II) examining the effects of exercise training using recumbent upright cycle ergometers on cardiopulmonary and QOL outcomes in 53 post-menopausal women with breast cancer (1 participant in the experimental group dropped out due to gastrointestinal complications).
The ergometers were placed in the surf zone adjacent to a lifeguard tower and near one of the high-volume air samplers used to monitor brevetoxin concentrations.
These include treadmills, stair steppers bikes, and upper-body ergometers.
