Why the study?
Does the response to exercise training during cardiac rehabilitation differ by sex?
Does the response to exercise training during cardiac rehabilitation differ by sex?
Women exhibit a significantly lower training response to traditional cardiac rehabilitation compared to men, suggesting a need for alternative programming.
Women may show lower training response in cardiac rehab; hypothesis-generating for sex-specific protocols pending trials.
While there were no differences in training effect estimated by METs, directly measured showed a significantly lower training response for women despite adjusting for covariates. In addition, 18% of patients did not see any improvement in . Alternatives to traditional CR exercise programming need to be considered.
