Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peak exercise capacity data is the most useful information for exercise prescription because it provides insight into the patient's maximal aerobic capacity and can be used to set appropriate exercise intensity levels for the rehabilitation program. Submaximal exercise capacity data and rating of perceived exertion at peak exercise can provide additional information but may not be as important for determining exercise prescription as peak exercise capacity. Resting oxygen saturation may be important for monitoring the patient's overall health status but is not directly related to exercise prescription.
