Differences in Cardiorespiratory Responses with Three Set-Paced Submaximal Endurance Tests in Community-Dwelling Older Adults.

A variety of submaximal exercise tests are commonly used in clinical practice to determine an individual's exercise capacity and cardiorespiratory fitness. This study explored differences in cardiorespiratory and perceived exertion responses following the completion of three set-paced exercise tests. A prospective, observational, cross-sectional design assessed 30 healthy communityd-welling older adults, who participated in three submaximal exercise tests, including seated marching (SM), standing marching (STM), and standing stepping (STS).
