Does aquatic treadmill exercise elicit similar cardiorespiratory responses compared to land treadmill exercise in patients with stable coronary artery disease?
Aquatic treadmill exercise elicits similar peak cardiorespiratory responses to land treadmill exercise, suggesting it is a viable alternative for cardiac rehabilitation in patients with stable CAD.
Choi et al. (2014) studied Coronary artery disease (n=21). Aquatic treadmill exercise vs. Land treadmill exercise was evaluated on Peak oxygen consumption and peak heart rate. Aquatic treadmill exercise elicited similar peak oxygen consumption and peak heart rate compared with land treadmill exercise in patients with stable coronary artery disease.
