Key result
High-intensity interval training is more effective than moderate-intensity continuous training for improving peak oxygen uptake and central and peripheral adaptations in patients with cardiovascular disease.

Does high-intensity interval training improve peak oxygen uptake and physiological adaptations compared to moderate-intensity continuous training in patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation?
Population
Patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation for secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease
Comparison
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) vs Moderate-intensity continuous training

May support HIIT preference in cardiac rehab; leaves open confirmation by large RCTs.
Does high-intensity interval training improve peak oxygen uptake and physiological adaptations compared to moderate-intensity continuous training in patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation?
This review highlights the potential superiority of high-intensity interval training over moderate-intensity continuous training for improving peak oxygen uptake in cardiac rehabilitation.
Ito et al. (2016) conducted a review in Cardiovascular disease (coronary artery disease and chronic heart failure). High-intensity interval training (HIIT) vs. Moderate-intensity continuous training (MCT) was evaluated on Peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak). High-intensity interval training is more effective than moderate-intensity continuous training for improving peak oxygen uptake and central and peripheral adaptations in patients with cardiovascular disease.
