I am planning an exercise program where intensity will be set at ventilatory threshold, for alcoholic outpatients. I hope to find significant effects on exercise tolerance, physical self worth, urges to drink and regular physical activity. Any information/cases/recommendations?
Hi, although not a piece of academic research but may offer a greater perspective. Try Matt Rendells book on Marco Pantani ( cyclist)
Sounds like you might be setting the intensity too high for naive exercisers whi are likely Deconditioned. Consider instead following recommendations for exercise for healthy adults particularly taking consideration for conditioning level and pleasantness of the exercise to and to enhance adherence.
Hello, I have good experience with using a threshold test and then design the exercise intensity accordingly. See attached file.

All is 'nice'. The 'need'is to adopt 'titration' in this respct (see: Glasziou et al, BMJ, 2005 and Lutz et al, numerous). Sucess!!
