Conditions for interrupting the domestic exercise of the user cycling exercise test. These indications were adapted from [22] introducing more strict criteria.

Conditions for exercise interruption

Heart rate exceeding 85% of maximum estimated HR (HR > 0.85 (220 – age – HRrest) + HRrest)
Fall in blood pressure (BPs < BPsrest, BPd < 80 mmHg)
Hypertension (BPs > min {200 mmHg, BPsrest + 10 mmHg} or BPd > 110 mmHg)
“Very strong” perceived effort (Borg Category-Ratio Scale [70] (CR10) ≥ 7)
“Severe” pain (VAS Pain Scale [71] ≥ 7)

HR = heart rate, BPs = systolic blood pressure, BPd = diastolic blood pressure, SpO2 = arterial oxygen saturation.
