Table 5 Recommendations to derive or calculate exercise intensity if no objective or subjective measurement is available and to describe the intensity of hybrid or multicomponent programs
Calculation of multimodal or combined exercises | Average Rating (M ± SD) |
|---|---|
Weighted average of the different exercise components (86%) | 8.5 ± 2.1 |
The different components of exercise should be treated separately (74%) | 7.5 ± 2.4 |
Classification of exercise intensity for older adults for balance and coordination training | |
 Looking at the exercise description (if available) and judging based on the pace of the movements and the strength requirements (71%) | 7.9 ± 2.1 |
 Consider the categorization given by the authors (66%) | 7.3 ± 2.6 |
 If the exercise includes dual tasking or also has a cognitive distraction or a secondary physical task while practicing a balance or coordination task is moderate (66%) | 7.1 ± 2.7 |
 Consider these forms as ‘light’ intensity exercise (60%) | 7.0 ± 2.6 |
Calculate intensity if there is a progression within the program for older adults | |
 HR, RPE, METs, perceived exertion (91%) | 8.7 ± 1.6 |
 % Delta Change from the original level of training (92%) | 8.3 ± 1.9 |
 Giving the lowest and the highest value and the rate of progressivity (e.g., self-paced, % per week, etc.) (91%) | 8.3 ± 1.7 |
 Use the mean value (71%) | 7.9 ± 2.5 |
 Considering the exercise intensity that was sustained for a higher duration to be used as the exercise intensity for the training program (81%) | 7.7 ± 2.2 |
