Guidelines like % heart rate (HR) reserve (HRR) require an anchoringmaximal test and do not always provide a homogenous training experience. When prescribing HRon the basis of % HRR, rating of perceived exertion or Talk Test, cardiovascular/perceptual driftduring sustained exercise makes prescription of the actual workload difficult. To overcome this issue,we have demonstrated a strategy for “translating” exercise test responses to steady state exercisetraining on the basis of % HRR or the Talk Test that appeared adequate for individuals ranging fromcardiac patients to athletes. However, these methods depended on the nature of the exercise testdetails. In this viewpoint, we combine these data with workload expressed as Metabolic EquivalentTask (METs). We demonstrate that there is a regular stepdown between the METs during trainingto achieve the same degree of homeostatic disturbance during testing. The relationship was linear,was highly-correlated (r = 0.89), and averaged 71.8% (Training METs/Test METs). We conclude that itappears possible to generate a generalized approach to correctly translate exercise test responses toexercise training.
