The exercise dosage reported in the exercise diaries was 2.3 times higher than the TUT data from the electronic system.
The physiotherapist will teach the participant the home exercises firstly by demonstrating the exercise and then supervising the participant performing the exercise, prescribe dosage, monitor progress and adjust the program as appropriate with the aim of progressing the exercises in intensity and/or difficulty over the 6-month intervention phase.
Nine other studies included some aspects of skill training as part of their PFMT protocol, but details of the actual training process and the exercise dosage were poorly reported [ 32, 37, 38, 41, 48, 49, 51- 53].
Since the diagnosis, O'Brien has started an exercise routine and adjusted the dosage of his statins.
[Rathleff MS, Bandholm T, McGirr KA, Harring SI, Sørensen AS, Thorborg K (2016) New exercise-integrated technology can monitor the dosage and quality of exercise performed against an elastic resistance band by adolescents with patellofemoral pain: an observational study. Journal of Physiotherapy 62: 159–162].
To determine the number of calories that needed to be expended each week, participants were weighed weekly and their weight was multiplied by the exercise dosage.
Whether the combination of PFMT with adjunctive therapy or the actual exercise dosage is the critical factor is unclear.
The dosage of exercise bouts which causes cardiac injury, and the "true pathologic values" of EIAH are unknown or under debate.
The differences in results between studies in humans versus horses could be related to species differences, when the mixture was given (at rest or post exercise), the route of administration, the dosage of leucine as well as the sampling time.
The recommended exercise dosage for strength training of the PFM has been extrapolated from exercise physiology principles for normal skeletal muscle.
