Key result
Medium-to-vigorous training improves fitness and protects against CVD, while excessive exercise risks cardiovascular harm.
Why the study?
To summarize the relationship between exercise and the prevention of cardiovascular disease, with a particular focus on coronary heart disease.
Does exercise prevent cardiovascular disease and improve cardiorespiratory fitness in primary and secondary prevention?
Does exercise prevent cardiovascular disease and improve cardiorespiratory fitness in primary and secondary prevention?
Regular exercise, particularly medium-to-vigorous intensity training, is effective for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease, though excessive exercise carries risks.
Supports moderate exercise for CVD prevention; leaves open precise thresholds to avoid harm from excess.
The aim of this study is to summarize the relationship between exercise and prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD. With a particular focus on coronary heart disease (CAD), a structured retrieval of databases was conducted to search the types of exercise involved, including aerobic interval training (AIT), aerobic continuous training (ACT), high-intensity interval training (HIIT), moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT), excessive exercise and athletic exercise. The main medical assessments include anaerobic threshold (AT), peak oxygen uptake (peak VO2) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Besides, we also reviewed exercise and its impact on cardiovascular risk factors, such as obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemic and anxiety. Exercise is effective in preventing CVD. However, excessive exercise can do harm to the cardiovascular system or even lead to sudden death, but such risks can be effectively prevented by adhering to regular exercise. Besides, medium-to-vigorous intensity training is more effective in protecting against CVD and improving cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF).
