Key result
Resistance training significantly increased the amount of exercise load at 5 months compared to traditional exercise programs in myocardial infarction patients undergoing phase II cardiac rehabilitation (40.5 vs 34.5 watts, p<0.01).

Does resistance training improve exercise tolerance in myocardial infarction patients undergoing phase II cardiac rehabilitation?
Absolute Event Rate: 40.5% vs 34.5%
p-value: p=<0.01
The introduction of resistance training in phase II cardiac rehabilitation significantly improves exercise tolerance in patients recovering from myocardial infarction.
May support resistance training in phase II MI rehab; hypothesis-generating and requires RCTs before practice change.

Nonaka et al. (2013) conducted a cohort in Myocardial infarction (n=22). Resistance training vs. Traditional exercise programs (aerobics and muscle strength exercise) was evaluated on Exercise load (watts) for target heart rate at 5 months (p=<0.01). Resistance training significantly increased the amount of exercise load at 5 months compared to traditional exercise programs in myocardial infarction patients undergoing phase II cardiac rehabilitation (40.5 vs 34.5 watts, p<0.01).
