Why the study?
What exercise intensity is associated with the lowest day-to-day variation in submaximal and recovery heart rate during the HIMS test?
What exercise intensity is associated with the lowest day-to-day variation in submaximal and recovery heart rate during the HIMS test?
To minimize day-to-day variation when monitoring heart rate and recovery in athletes, submaximal protocols should elicit between 85 and 90% of maximum heart rate.

May guide intensity selection for stable HR monitoring in athletes; leaves open confirmation in prospective or interventional studies.
Lamberts et al. (2009) studied this question.
