Minimum recommended parameters for exercise training and levels of physical activity in daily life (PADL)
Exercise training | PADL | |
Frequency | 3–5 times per week | ≥3–5 days per week |
Intensity | Endurance training: ≥60% of maximum exercise capacity or 0–10 Borg scale 4–6 Resistance training: ≥60% of the one-repetition maximum test or a load that evokes fatigue between 8 and 12 repetitions | ≥3 METs |
Duration | Endurance training: ≥20–60 min per session Resistance training: 1 to 3 sets of 8–12 repetitions | ≥150 min per week (or 7000–10 000 steps per day) |
METs: metabolic equivalents. Data from [70, 76, 77]
