Key result
Combined strength and high-intensity endurance training significantly increased maximal leg strength compared to standard training (162.0 kg vs 125.4 kg, p<0.001) over 10 weeks in cardiac patients.

Absolute Event Rate: 162% vs 125.4%
p-value: p=<0.001
In heart-operated patients, a 10-week combined high-intensity endurance and strength training program significantly improved maximal leg strength compared to standard cardiac rehabilitation, without compromising endurance capacity.
Jensen et al. (2017) conducted an RCT in heart and coronary diseases (n=30). Combined strength and high intensity endurance training vs. Standard national program (Ullevaal model) two to three sessions per week was evaluated on Maximal leg strength (p=<0.001). Combined strength and high-intensity endurance training significantly increased maximal leg strength compared to standard training (162.0 kg vs 125.4 kg, p<0.001) over 10 weeks in cardiac patients.
