Why the study?
Does exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation improve cardiorespiratory fitness in UK patients?
Does exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation improve cardiorespiratory fitness in UK patients?
Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation in the UK significantly improves cardiorespiratory fitness, though the gains and exercise doses are substantially lower than international standards, with >12 sessions yielding better results.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
UK CR yields significant but modest fitness gains; extends evidence by linking fewer sessions to smaller improvements than international programmes.
