Table 4: Physiological Responses to Quadmill™ Exercise for Phase 2 Workload (median [range]). A comparison of Phase 1 to 2 for HR, SBP, DBP, and MAP did not elicit significant differences despite a 27% higher workload in Phase 2.
Phase 2 | Workload (rpm) | HR (bpm) | SBP (mmHg) | DBP (mmHg) | MAP (mmHg) | RPE |
Rest | 64 [16] | 115 [14] | 85 [30] | 95 [22] | ||
Bout 1 | 57.7 | 86 [30] | 127 [26] | 84 [28] | 98 [25] | 12 [2] |
Bout 2 | 57.7 | 94 [32] | 128 [26] | 86 [23] | 99 [24] | 13 [2] |
Bout 3 | 57.7 | 100 [36] | 134 [18] | 85 [21] | 101 [17] | 13 [3]* |
*RPE was significantly lower in Bout 3 of Phase 2 compared to Phase 1.
