A training program for elderly subjects can be based on an evaluation exercise
January 13th, 2005
A recent report described ventilatory threshold characterizations during incremental rowing and cycling exercises in older subjects. According to a study from France, "In order to individualize the intensity of an aerobic training program on different ergometers in healthy elderly subjects using a single test of muscular exercise, we analyzed cardiorespiratory responses in 8 men (65.7±4.5 yrs) and 10 women (63.3±4.8 yrs).

All subjects carried out two incremental exercise tests on the cycle and rowing ergometers." F. Deruelle and...
