Exercise testing is a medical assessment that measures how your body reacts during physical activity. Cardiovascular fitness, endurance, and the function of the heart, lungs, and muscles are evaluated during the process.

Exercise prescription is a highly personalised exercise plan designed by a healthcare professional or fitness specialist based on the results of exercise testing, health status, and fitness goals.

Proper exercise prescription is essential for individuals who have suffered a heart attack, or who had undergone coronary angioplasty or bypass surgery. It forms an important component of cardiac rehabilitation.
