Future research should employ rigorous exercise testing protocols and methodology including the use of criteria for reaching VO2max, differentiate between patients of different functional classes and take employment status into account.
When using large teams of human reviewers, no matter how rigorous the employment screening is, how detailed the guidebooks or how lengthy the training process, humans still carry with them an incredible amount of innate bias that manifests itself over the course of their work.
Avoid rigorous exercise before bed.

Both Obama and the Senate "Gang of Eight" call for more rigorous checks on employment, including a forgery-proof, theft-proof identification system, which is overdue.
In summary, the four evaluations shown in Table 1 demonstrated to SSA the feasibility of implementing rigorous evaluations of employment interventions.
Despite a long history of research in the criminal justice field, including many experimental evaluations, there have been few rigorous studies of employment focused reentry models.
Each of these evaluations provided a rigorous evaluation of employment outcomes and included detailed documentation of the services delivered so the findings could be replicated in other settings.
The evaluations of the Center for Employment Opportunities (CEO) and Transitional Jobs Reentry Demonstration (TJRD) transitional jobs programs are two of the most rigorous tests of employment programs for former prisoners in recent years.
We then describe the findings from rigorous evaluations of employment interventions that have been tested over the past several decades and some ongoing innovative demonstration projects that are currently in the field.
