Why the study?
Does exercise prescription using RPE 11-13 and heart rate 20 bpm above standing rest accurately achieve 50%-80% VO2peak compared to a graded exercise test in phase II cardiac rehabilitation patients?
Does exercise prescription using RPE 11-13 and heart rate 20 bpm above standing rest accurately achieve 50%-80% VO2peak compared to a graded exercise test in phase II cardiac rehabilitation patients?
Prescribing exercise intensity using RPE 11-13 or HRrest+20 without a graded exercise test may not provide an adequate or consistent physiologic stimulus for phase II cardiac rehabilitation patients.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May not ensure consistent target intensity in phase II cardiac rehab; hypothesis-generating for individualized testing methods.
