Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the safety and immediate effects of tailoring eccentric cycling exercise intensity based on perceived exertion from a prior submaximal concentric test among healthy adults.
- Participants engaged in three cycling tests to determine comfortable pedaling power and assess physiological responses during exercise, including oxygen uptake and cardiac metrics.
- Results indicated no adverse effects, with lower oxygen usage during eccentric cycling and a significant increase in stroke volume, suggesting this method of exercise prescription is feasible and well tolerated for future training.
