However, the main measure of whether a subsequent session is physiologically more difficult than a previous one is not your muscle tiredness or your perceived exertion, but rather measures of metabolic output such as where your heart rate stands relative to the aerobic threshold in both workouts.

It isn't likely, for example that your aerobic threshold (MAF) would ever be 80 % of your MAX HR — your aerobic threshold is a measure (among other things) of the amount of mitochondria you have in your body, which does not fluctuate with your heart rate.

The best measure of «aerobic training» is whether it occurs below the MAF heart rate.

We believe this would be particularly important considering our recently published data showing metabolic changes measured with FDG - PET in areas that correspond to hubs of both networks in subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) after 24 weeks of aerobic training (Porto et al., 2015).
