Comparison of Exercise Intensity Prescription

NCT02351713 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE2 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 42

Summary

Therefore, the purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of two exercise training programs for improving cardiorespiratory fitness: the ACE three-zone training model (i.e., threshold based training) versus the more common ACSM recommended relative percent method (i.e., %HRR).

It is hypothesized that:

1. The ACE three-zone training model will elicit greater mean changes in cardiorespiratory fitness (as measured by VO2max) when compared to the relative percent method.
2. Participants in the ACE three-zone training model group will be more likely to have favorable VO2max responses; while comparatively, participants in the relative percent method group would be more likely to experience a VO2max nonresponse to exercise training.

Exercise

Continuous aerobic exercise prescribed according to two exercise intensity methods: threshold based method (i.e., ventilatory threshold) and relative percent method (i.e., heart rate reserve).
