Exercising at or above the anaerobic threshold has been shown to be the most appropriate level to improve cardio-respiratory functionMajor problems with exercising at this level for protracted periods are the development of a metabolic acidosisUnder a state of metabolic acidosis the myocardium does not respond to endogenous or exogenous catecholamines
Hypokalaemia by the transfer of potassium into the cells promotes dysrhythmiaPatients with acute myocardial ischaemia develop a metabolic acidosis commensurate with the severity of the ischaemia Neocardial Exercise by providing a specific individual exercise prescription allows the patient to exercise at sufficient level to ensure cardiac training effect without developing any significant metabolic acidosis
