The objective of exercise training is to initiate desirable physiological adaptations that
ultimately enhance physical work capacity. Optimal training prescription requires an …

The response to an exercise intervention is often described in general terms, with the
assumption that the group average represents a typical response for most individuals. In …

Muscular exercise requires transitions to and from metabolic rates often exceeding an order
of magnitude above resting and places prodigious demands on the oxidative machinery and …

Regularly performed endurance exercise induces major adaptations in skeletal muscle.
These include increases in the mitochondrial content and respiratory capacity of the muscle …

Endurance exercise training results in profound adaptations of the cardiorespiratory and
neuromuscular systems that enhance the delivery of oxygen from the atmosphere to the …

A strong relationship between aerobic fitness and the aerobic response to repeated bouts of
high intensity exercise has been established, suggesting that aerobic fitness is important in …

Objectives. Vagally mediated heart rate recovery after exercise was assessed in patients
with chronic heart failure and in well trained athletes by analyzing the postexercise heart …

In the recovery period after exercise there is an increase in oxygen uptake termed the
'excess post-exercise oxygen consumption'(EPOC), consisting of a rapid and a prolonged …

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is a methodology that has profoundly affected the
approach to patients' functional evaluation, linking performance and physiological …

1 The maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O2, peak) during dynamic muscular exercise is commonly
taken as a crucial determinant of the ability to sustain high‐intensity exercise. Considerably …
