Abstract

Abstract Key Points: • CPET facilitates prescription of exercise and can document its effectiveness. • Exercise training is best undertaken daily, and certainly at least three times per week. • It should include moderate-intensity work. • Do not neglect recommendations for strength work—maintaining muscle mass is also important. • Subjects should be provided with specific advice and signposted to experts who can help with exercise prescription and monitoring.
