Why the study?
Does muscle strength training combined with aerobic training improve cardiovascular disease risk indicators compared to aerobic training alone in patients with coronary artery disease?
Does muscle strength training combined with aerobic training improve cardiovascular disease risk indicators compared to aerobic training alone in patients with coronary artery disease?
Adding muscle strength training to aerobic training improves cardiorespiratory fitness and body composition more than aerobic training alone in patients with coronary artery disease.
Supports adding resistance training to aerobic programs in CAD rehabilitation; reinforces meta-analytic evidence for combined exercise.
Combined training had greater effects on CRF and body composition than aerobic training alone in patients with CAD. To promote an increase in CRF in patients with CAD, muscle strength training should be added to aerobic training without reducing aerobic exercise volume.
