The relationship between work capacity and respiratory parameters were studied in GGH KAKINADA. In this observation work capacities of 50 medical students of both sexes were determined by exercise testing on bicycle ergometer. There was no correlation between vital capacity and work capacity in both groups but the relationship of work capacity and Breathing reserve is varied, bearing significant correlation in males and less in females. The rise in blood lactate levels and pulse rates in exercise which correspond to the severity of stress, is found to be greater in female subjects than males and the nature of blood lactate response to exercise may be a limiting factor of exercise.
