Key result
Linear periodized exercise training is being evaluated against a non-periodized regime for its effect on peak oxygen uptake in 50 patients with coronary artery disease in this ongoing randomized controlled trial.
Why the study?
Most patients do not maintain exercise after completing hospital-based cardiac rehabilitation, and the impact of periodized exercise training on physical fitness in cardiac patients is unclear.
Does a linear periodized exercise training regime improve peak oxygen uptake in patients with coronary artery disease compared to a non-periodized regime?
Population
50 patients with coronary artery disease who completed hospital-based cardiac rehabilitation
Comparison
Periodized exercise training vs non-periodized standard guideline exercise training
Design
Randomized controlled trial protocol

Pinto et al. (2019) conducted an RCT in Coronary artery disease (n=50). Linear periodized exercise training vs. Non-periodized exercise training (standard exercise prescription guidelines) was evaluated on Change in peak oxygen uptake (VO2 peak) at 12 months. Linear periodized exercise training is being evaluated against a non-periodized regime for its effect on peak oxygen uptake in 50 patients with coronary artery disease in this ongoing randomized controlled trial.
