His ICD is programmed to deliver therapy at HR ≥ 170 bpm. He is on a beta-blocker, and his VO₂peak is approximately 14 mL/kg/min. He is deconditioned but motivated to return to activity.Using ACSM guidelines, build an exercise prescription for David. Include aerobic and resistance training FITT components. Also answer:1. David’s ICD fires at HR ≥ 170 bpm. What is the maximum heart rate he should reach during exercise, and how will medication affect the ability to use THR?2. David is 8 weeks post-implant. What resistance training restrictions remain in place, and what upper-body limitations must still be observed?3. Describe the monitoring plan during David’s exercise sessions given his ICD and low ejection fraction.
