Summary

This crossover trial in 23 healthy adults asks whether heart rate at key ventilatory thresholds differs between cycling and treadmill running. Each participant performs both exercise tests in random order. The goal is to see if a fixed heart rate bias exists between the two modalities, which could help fine-tune exercise prescriptions for fitness and rehabilitation.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If a fixed heart rate bias is confirmed, exercise prescriptions could be tailored more precisely to the exercise modality, improving training and rehabilitation outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study in healthy volunteers, so findings may not apply to people with medical conditions or to other exercise types.
