Implication
Supports routine integration of supervised resistance training into CV care; reinforces and extends guideline recommendations for comprehensive risk reduction.
Key Points
- To review the health and fitness benefits, physiological considerations, and safety parameters of resistance training in individuals with and without cardiovascular disease.
- Synthesized clinical evidence on resistance exercise, flexibility training, and acute physiological responses in healthy adults and cardiac patients.
- Formulated clinical participation criteria and tailored exercise prescription guidelines based on cardiovascular risk profiles.
- Appropriately prescribed and supervised resistance training favorably improves muscular strength, endurance, cardiovascular function, and metabolic coronary risk factors.
- Complementary resistance exercise demonstrates positive effects on psychosocial well-being with an acceptable safety profile when adhering to structured participation guidelines.
