Cadence (steps/min) and relative intensity in 61 to 85-year-olds: the CADENCE-Adults study.

Background: We previously demonstrated that a heuristic (i.e., evidence-based, rounded yet practical) cadence threshold of ≥ 100 steps/min was associated with absolutely-defined moderate intensity physical activity (i.

Cadence-based classification of moderate-intensity overground walking in 41- to 85-year-old adults.

Background: Walking cadence (steps/min) has emerged as a valid proxy of physical activity intensity, with consensus across numerous laboratory-based treadmill studies that ≥100 steps/min approximates absolutely defined moderate intensity (≥3 metabolic equivalents; METs). We recently reported that this cadence threshold had a classification accuracy of 73.3% for identifying moderate intensity during preferred pace overground walking in young adults.

Walking cadence (steps/min) and intensity in 61-85-year-old adults: the CADENCE-Adults study.

Background: Heuristic (i.e., evidence-based, rounded) cadences of ≥100 and ≥ 130 steps/min have consistently corresponded with absolutely-defined moderate (3 metabolic equivalents [METs]) and vigorous (6 METs) physical activity intensity, respectively, in adults 21-60 years of age.

Cadence (steps/min) and relative intensity in 21 to 60-year-olds: the CADENCE-adults study.

Background: Heuristic cadence (steps/min) thresholds of ≥100 and ≥ 130 steps/min correspond with absolutely-defined moderate (3 metabolic equivalents [METs]; 1 MET = 3.5 mL O·kg·min) and vigorous (6 METs) intensity, respectively. Scarce evidence informs cadence thresholds for relatively-defined moderate (≥ 64% heart rate maximum [HR = 220-age], ≥ 40%HR reserve [HRR = HR -HR, and ≥ 12 Rating of Perceived Exertion [RPE]); or vigorous intensity (≥ 77%HR, ≥ 60%HRR, and ≥ 14 RPE).

Walking cadence (steps/min) and intensity in 41 to 60-year-old adults: the CADENCE-adults study.

Background: In younger adults (i.e., those < 40 years of age) a walking cadence of 100 steps/min is a consistently supported threshold indicative of absolutely-defined moderate intensity ambulation (i.

Brief Report: Effects of Low-Volume High-Intensity Interval Training in Hispanic HIV+ Women: A Nonrandomized Study.

Background: Low cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is usually observed in people living with HIV. The effect of a low-volume high-intensity interval training (LV-HIIT) on CRF in HIV+ and HIV- Hispanic women was evaluated in this study.

Setting: A nonrandomized clinical trial with pre-test and post-test using a LV-HIIT intervention was conducted in the AIDS Clinical Trials Unit and the Puerto Rico Clinical and Translational Research Consortium at the University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus.
