Supports low-volume HIT as time-efficient option in CAD rehabilitation; extends RCT evidence of equivalence to endurance training.
Does low-volume high-intensity interval training improve brachial artery flow-mediated dilation and cardiorespiratory fitness compared to moderate-intensity endurance exercise in patients with CAD?
Low-volume high-intensity interval training is as effective as higher-volume moderate-intensity endurance exercise in improving fitness and endothelial function in patients with CAD, offering a time-efficient alternative for cardiac rehabilitation.
