The Johns Hopkins Cardiac Rehabilitation and Clinical Exercise Physiology center offers comprehensive, medically supervised programs designed to teach people how to exercise safely and manage heart disease risk factors.
What to Expect During Your Rehabilitation
During your appointment, you will undergo a thorough evaluation of your health and current fitness level to determine an effective rehabilitation plan.
Your personalized cardiac rehabilitation program may consist of the following:
-
After an initial consultation visit, an individualized exercise prescription is designed for each participant. All exercise workouts are supervised by a clinical exercise physiologist. Feedback is provided to the participant's personal health care provider on a regular basis.
Participants can choose to exercise in a small group setting or have individualized personal training sessions.
We offer the following tests to evaluate your physical performance:
- Resting Metabolic Rate Analysis: This test determines how many calories you burn at rest. This information can determine how many daily calories are needed to lose weight, gain weight or increase muscle mass.
- Body Composition: We measure how much of your body is composed of fat and muscle in order to create an effective weight loss plan.
- V02 Max Testing: This endurance test measures the maximum amount of oxygen you can consume during your exercise, providing you with an accurate analysis of your current fitness.
These tests are only offered at the Green Spring Station location.
