Supports individualized CWT protocols to modulate energy cost safely in CAD patients; extends RCT evidence for titratable resistance training in cardiac rehab.
Does varying rest interval duration and lifting load in circuit weight training affect energy cost and safety in male patients with coronary artery disease?
Circuit weight training of varied intensity is safe for cardiac patients, and its energy cost can be effectively modulated by adjusting rest intervals and lifting loads.
DeGroot et al. (1998) studied this question.
