Aerobic cost of exercise protocols. This figure shows the predicted aerobic cost of the stages of many of the currently used treadmill protocols. Total exercise time is not as important a value as is
the estimated oxygen consumption value of the protocol stage or workload reached. mph = miles per hour, %GR = percent grade, KPDS = kiloponds, METS = metabolic equivalents

This poster is part of a series of posters to assist healthcare professionals. The interpreter should memorize the essential
components and practice by applying them to clinical situations. There are many variables to consider in any clinical
situation including the patient’s signs and symptoms. It is not unusual to find different opinions; therefore, we believe that
interpretations should be left to experienced clinicians.
For consistency and clarity, we have referenced the following sources to complete this poster:
• “Exercise and the Heart — Clinical Concepts,” 2nd edition, Victor Froelicher, 1983, 1987, Yearbook Medical Publishers.
• “Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription,” American Sports Medicine Association (ACSM).
We hope this guide will compliment any text study and/or classroom instruction.
