What is it about?
The purpose of this study was to establish the relationship between various expressions of relative exercise intensity percentage of maximal oxygen uptake (%VO2max), percentage of maximal heart rate (%HRmax), %VO2 reserve (%VO2R), and %HR reserve (%HRR)) in order to obtain the more appropriate method for exercise intensity prescription when using an immersible ergocycle (IE)

Why is it important?
his study offers new tools to better prescribe, control, and individualize exercise intensity on IE. The classification of exercise intensity from rpm on IE for relative intensity (%HRR and %VO2R) is in agreement with the 2011 ACSM exercise intensity scale
Perspectives
For accurate prescription in different populations, practitioners using any IE type will have to consider the following 4 elements when calculating the power output: (1) the pedaling rate; (2) the seat height adjustment; (3) the precise characteristics of the pedaling system (length and width of paddles, pedals, and rods); and (4) participant leg anthropometric characteristics
