IPF patients presented an inadequate adaptive response of their ANS to exercise and recovery. Although oxygen supplementation significantly prolonged exercise duration and prevented the substantial exertional desaturation, the blunted vagal response to steady-state exercise in these patients was not improved, suggesting that acute oxygen supplementation does not sufficiently improve ANS dysfunction in these patients.
