PACE® stands for Progressively Accelerating Cardiopulmonary
Exertion. It involves:

1) interval training (short bursts of activity alternating with rest),
2) progressivity (increasing challenge over time to avoid an adaptive response and the “plateau” effect)
3) incremental intensity,
4) decreasing duration
5) acceleration.
