A Pilot Feasibility and Acceptability Study of Remote ExerciSe Training mOdalities (PRESTO)

Gold-standard, facility-based sessions (3 sessions/week) with an onsite trainer guidance with an exercise Intensity of 40-80% heart rate reserve (HRR) or Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) 12-16.

Live-streamed exercise classes (3 sessions/week) with a trainer providing real-time feedback.

Participants exercise independently and follow a weekly progression plan (3-5 sessions/week (depending on the specific progression)).

Training using the Myzone platform, with participants wearing the Myzone heart rate monitor and using the Myzone app to receive real-time feedback and guidance during exercise sessions (3 days per week). Myzone integrates with its proprietary wearable devices to monitor heart rate and other activity metrics, providing real-time data to users via the app.

Participants will wear a Bluetooth-compatible heart rate monitor (e.g., apple watch/fitbit) that syncs with MapMyFitness. MapMyFitness automatically records workout sessions (duration, distance, heart rate, calories burned, and elevation gain where applicable).

Centralized telemetry monitors heart rates and provides immediate feedback for trainers to adjust exercise intensity.

Wearable device (chest strap or armband) that monitors heart rate.
