Physiological Evaluation for Endurance Exercise Prescription in Sickle Cell Disease

Conclusions The proposed strategy of submaximal incremental exercise allowed safe determination of LT1, an important parameter of patients’ physical ability. The study also demonstrated the feasibility and safety of individually tailored endurance exercises at ~2.5 mmol·L−1 of [lactate]b. These latter results suggest that endurance training programs may be considered for adult SCD patients and that the method proposed here may be helpful in that regard.
