Comparison Between Moderate-high Interval Exercise and Moderate Continuous Exercise in an Advanced Cardiac Rehabilitation Program
Not Applicable
Completed
- Conditions
- Myocardial InfarctionCoronary Artery Disease
- Interventions
- Other: Continuous exercise trainingOther: Interval exercise training
- Registration Number
- NCT02162290
- Lead Sponsor
- Assaf-Harofeh Medical Center
- Brief Summary
The research will study the differences between interval training and continuous training among cardiac patients in a cardiac rehabilitation facility.
The main objectives are:
1. Functional capacity measures (VO2 max).
2. Cardiac risk factors
3. Quality of life assessments.
Study hypothesis:
Interval training will be more effective in improving functional capacity, cardiac risk factors and quality of life, compared to continuous training.
