🚨New publication from the EPCHL🚨
We asked cardiovascular rehabilitation programs across Canada how they test fitness - here’s what they told us:
Most centres rely on submaximal exercise tests, with the Bruce treadmill protocol and the 6‑minute walk test used most often. At the same time, there’s a lot of variation in how and why programs choose specific tests. This variability matters, because how we assess fitness directly influences exercise prescription, patient care in cardiovascular rehabilitation, and comparisons between programs.
