Q

Setting Exercise Intensity

A
  • ACSM recommends using %VO2 reserve (%VO2R)
  • VO2R = VO2max – VO2rest (can substitute METs instead)
  • VO2rest ≈ 3.5 ml/kg/min or 1 MET
  • VO2R ≈ HRR (HR reserve; HRmax – HRrest)
  • Assess client’s cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) level before
    setting intensity
