For moderate exercise intensities, heart rate is linearly related to VO2 max

The OMNI scale is an alternative to blood pressure measurements during a graded exercise test.

Core stability training done on unstable surfaces places an emphasis on developing muscular endurance more than muscular strength or power.

For those in the improvement stage of aerobic conditioning, it is recommended that exercise duration or exercise frequency be increased before attempting to increase exercise intensity.

The improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness are substantially greater when aerobic exercise is performed in a continuous training bout (without rest intervals) compared to a discontinuous training bout (exercise interspersed with rest intervals) of equal intensity and total work output. 

An individual with excellent cardiorespiratory fitness should have a higher heart rate at a given submaximal workload compared to an individual with poor cardiorespiratory fitness.

There is now a universally accepted nationwide certification for personal trainers in the United States.
