Overview

Supports individualized CWT protocols to modulate energy cost safely in CAD patients; extends RCT evidence for titratable resistance training in cardiac rehab.

Structured PICO

Does varying rest interval duration and lifting load in circuit weight training affect energy cost and safety in male patients with coronary artery disease?

P
Population
9 male subjects with documented coronary artery disease
I
Intervention
4 circuit weight training (CWT) sessions using either 40% or 60% of the 1-repetition maximum (1-RM), and either 30 or 60 seconds of rest between stations, performed in random order on separate days
C
Comparator
Treadmill exercise at 85% of VO2max (for safety comparison) and comparison between different CWT protocols
O
Outcome
Energy cost and safety (heart rate, blood pressure, rate-pressure product, ST-segment depression, angina)safety

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.
