Exercise Programming for Cardiac Patients

Springer, 2025

This book demonstrates the principle of exercise testing and training, describing in precise and technical detail the use of exercise prescription to support the management of cardiac patients. It comprehensively reviews all available solutions for exercise testing with appropriate consideration of optimal testing conditions, especially when more rigorous cardiopulmonary testing is unavailable. Translation of testing results into exercise training parameters should follow specific rules, and the authors present their approach and the development of specific tools to assist, such as instant exercise intensity calculators or interval-to-continuous approach with flexible progression rate based on heart rate plateau. Predicted training intensity and adequate training progression remain key elements of successful exercise prescription. Finally, this book describes how an exercise prescription follow-up program will determine long-term outcome. Based on the authors' educational workshops, Exercise Programming for Cardiac Patients encourages a prescriptive approach to exercise training with dosage, up-titration and comprehensive overview of patient parameters. As a critical preventative concept, exercise training is often overlooked, but this book is formulated to provide extensive supportive information for cardiologists looking to include it into their patients' management regimens. It is therefore designed to promote the clinical application of exercise training and is a key addition to the literature for all involved in the management of these patients.
