A Systematic Review Examining the Exercise Parameters Required to Induce the Repeated Bout Effect: Implications for Acute Care Physical Therapists

Conclusion: The RBE enhances a person's tolerance for future exercise/physical activity. Consequently, the use of exercise to induce the RBE would be advantageous during initial and subsequent acute care physical therapist interventions. Future research is needed to specifically address the precise dose needed to induce the RBE in middle-aged and older adults, those with acute and chronic diseases, and women of all ages.
