Intensity Paradox—Low-Fit People Are Physically Most Active in Terms of Their Fitness

open access: yesSensors, 2021
Depending on their cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), people may perceive the exertion of incident physical activity (PA) differently. Therefore, the use of relative intensity thresholds based on individual fitness have been proposed to evaluate the ...
