Key result
High-calorie-expenditure exercise resulted in significantly greater weight loss (8.2 vs 3.7 kg; P<0.001) and fat mass loss than standard cardiac rehabilitation exercise at 5 months.

Does high-calorie-expenditure exercise improve weight loss and cardiac risk factors in overweight patients with coronary heart disease?
Absolute Event Rate: 8.2% vs 3.7%
p-value: p=<0.001
High-calorie-expenditure exercise (3000-3500 kcal/wk) doubles weight loss and significantly improves cardiometabolic risk factors compared to standard cardiac rehabilitation in overweight patients with coronary heart disease.
Ades et al. (2009) conducted an RCT in Overweight with coronary heart disease (n=74). High-calorie-expenditure exercise vs. Standard cardiac rehabilitation exercise (7 to 800 kcal/wk) was evaluated on Weight loss (kg) at 5 months (p=<0.001). High-calorie-expenditure exercise resulted in significantly greater weight loss (8.2 vs 3.7 kg; P<0.001) and fat mass loss than standard cardiac rehabilitation exercise at 5 months.
