Inter-Individual Heterogeneity in Aerobic Training Adaptations: Systematic Review of the Evidence Base for Personalized Exercise Prescription.

ABSTRACT: Personalized exercise prescriptions require identifying inter-individual differences in exercise intervention effects. This review examined whether true inter-individual differences exist after accounting for measurement error. PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE databases were systematically searched. Inclusion criteria included: (1) original randomized controlled trials or controlled trials using standardized, supervised aerobic exercise interventions, or meta-analyses examining inter-individual differences in aerobic training adaptations; (2) explicitly identifying the assessment of inter-individual response variability as a research objective; (3) Reporting sufficient statistical information to quantify inter-individual variability. The search yielded a total of 3203 studies, and ultima
