===The value of exercise testing in ME/CFS=== Nijs has worked on the issue of exercise testing in ME/CFS. Because of [[post-exertional malaise]], it is not always possible for ME/CFS-patients to reach their [[VO2 Max]]. Based on the exercise testing of more than 200 ME/CFS-patients, Nijs demonstrated (in succession to Mullis et al.<ref name="Mullis1999">{{Cite journal | title = Prediction of peak oxygen uptake in chronic fatigue syndrome. | date = 1999-10-01 | url = https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/33/5/352|journal=British Journal of Sports Medicine|volume=33|issue=5 | pages = 352β356 | last = Mullis | first = R. | last2 = Campbell | first2 = I.T. | last3 = Wearden | first3 = A.J. | last4 = Morriss | first4 = R.K. | last5 = Pearson | first5 =D.J. | language=en|doi=10.1136/bjsm.33.5.352|pmid=10522640|issn=0306-3674}}</ref>) that other values such as [[peak workload]] or VO2 submax can be used to correctly predict VO2 Max.<ref name="peak2004" /><ref name="Submaximal2007" /> In a review of exercise testing in ME/CFS, Nijs concluded that despite some conflicting studies,Β βthe weighted available evidence points towards a reduced physiological exercise capacity in CFS".<ref name="Inactive2011" /> The authors concluded that a lack of uniformity in diagnostic criteria, could explain for the differences between studies. Yet, while ME/CFS patients showed a reduced physiological exercise capacity, there was only a minor correlation between exercise test results and employment rate, suggesting this might not be a reliable measure to assess disability.<ref name="Employment2005" />
