Key result
Resistance training in 1,025 patients with coronary artery disease enhanced exercise tolerance, improved hemodynamic response and muscular strength, and reduced body fat composition.
Why the study?
This review aimed to collect, summarize, and present evidence on the usefulness, viability, safety, and efficacy of resistance training in treating coronary artery disease, enhancing aerobic capacity, and improving health-related quality of life.

Supports adding resistance training to CAD cardiac rehabilitation; reinforces Level 1 evidence for gains in exercise tolerance, strength, and body composition.
Systematic Review (n=1,025)
Does resistance training improve body composition, hemodynamic parameters, and exercise tolerance in patients with coronary artery disease?
Resistance training is an effective intervention to improve exercise tolerance, hemodynamic response, muscular strength, and body composition during rehabilitation of patients with coronary artery disease.
Sharma et al. (2022) conducted a systematic review in Coronary artery disease (n=1,025). Resistance Training was evaluated on Exercise tolerance, hemodynamic response, muscular strength, and body fat composition. Resistance training in 1,025 patients with coronary artery disease enhanced exercise tolerance, improved hemodynamic response and muscular strength, and reduced body fat composition.
