Recommendations for objective cardiovascular assessment to inform clinical exercise prescription: an exercise physiologist and physiotherapist expert consensus

Exercise prescription for the elderly: current recommendations.

The benefits for elderly individuals of regular participation in both cardiovascular and resistance-training programmes are great. Health benefits include a significant reduction in risk of coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus and insulin resistance, hypertension and obesity as well as improvements in bone density, muscle mass, arterial compliance and energy metabolism. Additionally, incre...

Considerations for an Exercise Prescription

The development of an effective exercise prescription for long-duration space flight depends on the identification and understanding of various characteristics of the physiological response to muscular work in microgravity. We need to establish the optimum combination of intensity, duration, frequency, and mode of exercise that will be required to maintain normal cardiovascular reflexes, fluide...

Exercise comes of age: rationale and recommendations for a geriatric exercise prescription.

Cardiovascular drift during heat stress: implications for exercise prescription.

Cardiovascular drift, the progressive increase in heart rate and decrease in stroke volume that begins after approximately 10 min of prolonged moderate-intensity exercise, is associated with decreased maximal oxygen uptake, particularly during heat stress. Consequently, the increased heart rate reflects an increased relative metabolic intensity during prolonged exercise in the heat when cardiov...
