Does simultaneous aerobic-resistance circuit training improve left ventricle mechanical function, aerobic fitness, and physical QoL compared to CAT in men post-MI?
Simultaneous aerobic-resistance circuit training provides greater improvements in LV mechanical function, aerobic fitness, and physical QoL compared to CAT in men post-MI.
Men post-MI stand to benefit from both CAT and SCT. However, in comparison to CAT, as assessed by echocardiography, SCT may yield greater benefits to the left ventricle mechanical function as well as to the patient's aerobic fitness and physical QoL. Moreover, the SCT program was found to be feasible as well as safe.
