Key result
Treadmill aerobic interval training increased peak oxygen uptake significantly more than usual care exercise training in patients after myocardial infarction (to 36.2 vs 34.7 mL/kg/min; P=0.002).

Absolute Event Rate: 36.2% vs 34.7%
p-value: p=0.002
Aerobic interval training is more effective than usual care group exercise at increasing peak oxygen uptake in patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation after myocardial infarction.
Moholdt et al. (2011) conducted an RCT in Myocardial infarction (n=107). Treadmill aerobic interval training vs. Usual care aerobic group exercise training was evaluated on Peak oxygen uptake (p=0.002). Treadmill aerobic interval training increased peak oxygen uptake significantly more than usual care exercise training in patients after myocardial infarction (to 36.2 vs 34.7 mL/kg/min; P=0.002).
