Strategies for provoking speech during the Talk Test

[摘要] The Talk Test (lT) has been shown to be effective in prescribing exercise. Two strategieshave been widely used: recitation of a standard paragraph during incremental exercise,and responding to recorded interviews during steady-state exercise. We compared heartrate (HR) and work rate (METs) responses using the two strategies. Healthy volunteers(n=20) performed incremental exercise tests to define ventilatory threshold (VT) andintensity associated with lT and a free-range walk while responding to recordedquestions.
