Abstract.[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to validate the effects of an exercise program developed for healthy Japanese young men. This program was established as a basis for an exercise program for diabetic patients in Mongolia.[Methods] Ten healthy young men underwent the exercise tolerance test. They participated in a light exercise program consisting of 10 stretching exercises and 11 light exercises. During the exercise tolerance test and exercise program, heart rate (HR), oxygen uptake (VO 2 ), and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) were recorded. The intensity of the exercise program was determined by taking the average of the VO 2 parameters during exercise and dividing it by the maximum value for VO 2 (VO 2max ). Correlation coefficients for VO 2 , HR, and RPE were calculated during the exercise tolerance test and all exercises.[Results] During the exercise program, VO 2 was approximately 20% of VO 2max , HR was 85-100 bpm, and RPE was 10-11. A high correlation coefficient was observed during the exercise tolerance test, and a moderate correlation was observed during the exercise program.[Conclusion] The intensity of the exercise program in this study was low to moderate. Thus, the exercise program must be revised after validating it among diabetic patients in Mongolia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
