Workload Accomplished in Phase III Cardiac Rehabilitation

Exercise training is an important component of clinical exercise programs. Although there are recognized guidelines for the amount to be accomplished (≥70,000 steps per week or ≥150 min at moderate intensity), virtually no documentation how much actually in contemporary Having without evidence whether they being met limited value. We analyzed both weekly step count and session rating perceived exertion (sRPE) patients (n = 26) enrolled a community (e.g., Phase III) program over 3-week reference period. Step counts averaged 39,818 ± 18,612 week, with 18% 82% outside program. Using sRPE method, inside program, 162.4 93.1 12.5 1.9 frequency 1.8 0.7 times calculated load 2042.5 1244.9 AU.
