Why the study?
Does exercise intensity affect changes in cardiorespiratory fitness in patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation post myocardial infarction and revascularisation?
Does exercise intensity affect changes in cardiorespiratory fitness in patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation post myocardial infarction and revascularisation?
Engagement in exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation significantly improves V̇O2peak, but the intensity of exercise does not yield clinically meaningful differences in the magnitude of improvement.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Clinicians may tailor intensity to patient tolerance in cardiac rehabilitation; confirms moderate exercise yields comparable fitness gains.
Mitchell et al. (2018) studied this question.
