Figure 3. Individual values of (a) percentage of oxygen consumption reserve (%V̇O2R), (b) percentage of heart rate reserve (%HRR), and (c) metabolic equivalents (METs) of robotic walking during both tested training sessions. Black lines indicate recommended exercise intensity according to American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) guidelines [31]. Most subjects exercised below this minimum level of exercise intensity.
