  1. Wilcoxon Mann–Whitney test was used for data analysis. COR is expressed as absolute (cmH2O·s·L-1) and pMV (%). SDbv = between-visit standard deviation; COV = the coefficient of variation; ICC = intraclass correlation coefficient; COR = the coefficient of repeatability. aP < 0.05 COPD versus asthma.
