Analysis of the heart rate deflection point as a tool for exercise prescription in subjects with COPD - a cross-sectional study.

CONCLUSION: The HRDP cannot be used to determine the limits between the physiological domains of these subjects. Thus, although significant correlation was found between HRDP and GET, their application for training prescription and monitoring in subjects with COPD proved to be limited.
