In this prospective study, which enrolled exclusively CV patients (mainly male), C-AFQ was not sufficiently accurate to predict functional capacity measured by VO2 peak. Despite a numerically strong and positive correlation between measured and estimated, by C-AFQ, VO2 peak (r=0.723, p<0.001), high levels of disagreement in the Bland–Altman plot analysis were observed.engAerobic fitness questionnaires: still not enough to estimate VO2 peak in cardiac patients!Questionários de aptidão aeróbica: ainda não são suficientes para estimar o VO2 máximo em doentes cardíacos!journal article10.1016/j.repc.2025.03.001
