Why is the use of exercise tests and measurements considered important in exercise prescription?
- To increase patient motivation by showing quantifiable results immediately.
- To reduce the time needed for exercise prescription by using standardized protocols.

Study Notes
Foundations for Cardio-Aerobic Testing, Exercise Prescription, and METS
- Cardio-aerobic testing, exercise prescription and METs are discussed
- Exercise is planned, purposeful and progressive
- FITT-VP (Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type, Volume, Progression) principle is addressed
- Pre-screening, testing/assessments, and goals/recommendations are initial steps
- Exercise testing and assessments are important for structure, safety, exercise selection, and measuring outcomes.
- Metabolic equations for gross VO2 in metric units are provided for walking, running, leg cycling, arm cycling, and stepping.
- Variables such as heart rate, heart rate recovery, blood pressure, peak blood pressure, SpO2, rate of perceived exercise, dyspnea, pain, METs (workload) and outcomes (treadmill, bike) are measurable
- Specific specifics and protocols are important to monitor
- Purpose, individual appropriateness, and ExRx application are discussed
- Important for testing and measuring outcomes include warm-up, exercise, and cool-down segments
- Frequency of exercise (3-5 days per week) is important to reach recommended physical activity (PA) amounts
- Intensity may be prescribed using multiple methods like HR reserve (HRR), Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE), percentage VO2max, HR max, and Mets
- Age-predicted maximal heart rate estimations are presented in different equations
- Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) is a method of measuring intensity, ranging from 1 (very light) to 10 (maximum effort)
- Metabolic Equivalent (MET) is a measurement of physical activity, representing the amount of oxygen used by the body per kg of bodyweight per minute (3.5 ml/kg/min at rest)
- MET value is important to measure physical activity
- Appropriate dose intensity of exercise is prescribed
- Time parameters and volumes for exercise are recommended
- Mode/type of exercise is important and can be categorized
- Advantages and disadvantages of different exercise types (Walking, Jogging/Running, Bicycling, Swimming, aerobic Machines) are presented.
- Compendium of Physical Activities is linked for reference.
- Pattern/progression factors are addressed
- A FITT-VP model shows the relationship amongst frequency, intensity, time, type, volume, and progression of exercise.
- Examples of specific training programs (e.g., Gerkin) are exemplified
