Influence of beta-blocker use on percentage of target heart rate exercise prescription

Abstract: Exercise prescription using %HRmax or %HRR methods are of limited accuracy for patients taking beta-blockers. Although %HRmax and %HRR are easy to determine and therefore attractive, we suggest that the most precise exercise prescription would depend on AeT and AnT. Percentages of maximal oxygen consumption or maximal workload or ratings of perceived exertion may be suggested as a substitute. Alternatively, upper limits for %HRmax and %HRR should be lower for patients taking beta-blockers.

“…It is well known that $-blockers blunt HR responses and blood pressures to exercise, but not oxygen consumption. 45,46 Although 6 participants were using $-blockers, they were evenly distributed to the intervention and control groups, and the overall number was limited. Thus, this would not have affected the group differences and any significant differences in the findings of this study.…”

“…17 In a small study of 10 young healthy men, a small dose of bisoprolol given for 2 weeks reduced the percentage of maximal heart rate at the aerobic and anaerobic threshold. 18 Thus, it may be speculated that cardiovascular benefits of exercise at a defined heart rate differ in the absence and presence of beta-blockade. The aim of the present study is to determine the differential effects of lactate-based exercise prescription on hypertensives with or without chronic betablockade.…”
