Key result
Combined resistive and aerobic training reduced percent body fat (P<0.01 between groups) and increased lean mass (P=0.0006) compared to aerobic training alone in obese coronary patients.

Does combined resistive and aerobic exercise improve coronary risk factors in obese coronary patients compared to aerobic exercise alone?
Combined resistive and aerobic training provides better control of coronary risk factors, particularly lipid profile and body composition, than aerobic training alone in obese patients with coronary artery disease.
Hiryanti Binti Zakaria M (2015) conducted an RCT in Obese coronary artery disease (n=50). Combined resistive and aerobic exercise vs. Aerobic exercise alone was evaluated on Coronary risk factors (including body fat, lean mass, and lipid profile). Combined resistive and aerobic training reduced percent body fat (P<0.01 between groups) and increased lean mass (P=0.0006) compared to aerobic training alone in obese coronary patients.
