Key result
Endurance exercise boosts maximum power output ~21% and improves peak VO2 in CAD patients.
Why the study?
It is unclear whether improvements in short-term (30 s) exercise capacity are associated with increased aerobic exercise tolerance in cardiac patients following training.
Does 12 weeks of endurance exercise training improve exercise capacity and peak VO2 in patients with documented coronary artery disease?

Endurance training improves functional capacity in CAD; confirms RCT benefits and supports routine cardiac rehabilitation.
RCT (n=22)
Does 12 weeks of endurance exercise training improve exercise capacity and peak VO2 in patients with documented coronary artery disease?
Absolute Event Rate: 21% vs 0%
p-value: p=<0.005
A 12-week endurance exercise training program significantly improves both aerobic exercise tolerance and short-term isokinetic peak power in patients with coronary artery disease.
Oldridge et al. (1989) conducted an RCT in Coronary artery disease (n=22). Endurance exercise training vs. Control group was evaluated on Maximum power output during progressive incremental exercise (p=<0.005). Endurance exercise training for 12 weeks increased maximum power output by 21% (P<0.005) and peak VO2 by 18% (P<0.005) compared to controls in patients with coronary artery disease.
