Prescribing exercise might be more successful if doctors use specific health outcomes -- such as lower blood pressure -- as the specified goal, researchers say.
“The drug of movement is one of the safest and most effective forms of preventive health,” says Metzl. “We need to get the medical community fully engaged in prescribing exercise for their patients.”What the Research Found
“Improvement was much more correlated with the percentage of critical powers the individuals worked at rather than the percentage of their VO2max, like exercise physiologists have thought for years,” says lead study author Jessica Collins, a researcher at Brigham Young University.see an increase in critical power and endurance.
“Let’s say you and Jessica had the same VO2 max,” explains Gifford. “If we had you both going at 70% of [your VO2 max], it could beher maximum steady state, which would make it easy for her.” Knowing your critical power means you can predict how those stressors will build up, and you can tailor an exercise program that provides just the right stressor “dose” for you, Gifford says.
“People generally train off VO2 max or maximum heart rate, which is even less precise,” Gifford says.
