HIIT may offer greater MetS benefits than MICT in post-MI rehab; leaves open superiority pending RCTs.
Does high-intensity interval training improve metabolic syndrome and body composition in cardiac rehabilitation patients with myocardial infarction?
Supervised high-intensity interval training results in greater improvements in metabolic syndrome and body composition compared to moderate-intensity continuous training in post-MI patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation.
