Interval Aerobic Training and Continious Training

Completed

• Conditions: Exercise Addiction; Coronary Artery Disease
• Interventions: Other: Physiotherapy and rehabilitation

• Registration Number: NCT06525233
• Lead Sponsor: Istanbul Medipol University Hospital

Brief Summary

This research is comparing the effects of interval and continuous training which are the two types of aerobic training on persons' life quality and exercise capacity on coronary artery disease patients.

Detailed Description

The participants are diagnosed coronary artery disease aged between 40- 80 and have no mental and physical disability to take part in research. The participants' demographic infos and clinical story were recorded. To evaluate exercise capacity we used the symptom-limited exercise test (ETT) and six minute walking test (6DYT). We evaluate the life quality by using Short Form-36 (SF-36).

All those evaluation tests are done before and after training. Participants are randomly divided into two groups, the first group took part in interval aerobic training (AAE) while the other group was joining in continuous training (SAE) three times a week during 6 weeks. In both groups, significant changes were found in ETT, test time and 6 DYT scores after the rehabilitation program (p\<0,05). But only AAE group have important statistical values comparing to SAE group on test time and 6DYT scores. After training SAE group showed significant statistical change in every SF-36 parameter, while AAE group showing significant values except energy/fatigue. AAE group have statistically significant changes comparing to SAE group on that parameters; physical function, role limitations due to physical function, role limitations due to emotional function and general health (p\<0,05). Consequently AAE is much more tolerable comparing to SAE and AAE is considered more effective in increasing some parameters. On the other hand, we observed that both training types can be used in cardiac rehabilitation safely.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Treatment	Physiotherapy and rehabilitation	humans that diagnosed as coronary artery disease, joined two aerobic exercise groups. One of this group includes interval exercise and the other one includes continuous exercise.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
the effect of intermittent and continuous aerobic exercise on exercise capacity	30 minutes 3 times a week during 6 weeks	we used the symptom-limited exercise test and six minute walking test (6DYT). All evaluation tests are done before and after training. Participants were into randomised two groups: interval aerobic training (AAE) and continuous aerobic training (SAE). Training lasted three times a week during 6 weeks. In both groups, significant changes were found in evaluation tests scores after the rehabilitation program (p\<0,05). But only AAE group have important statistical difference comparing to SAE group on test time and 6DYT scores.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
the effect of intermittent and continuous aerobic exercise on life quality	30 minutes 3 times a week during 6 weeks	The participants have no mental and physical disability to join in research. The participants' demographic infos and clinical story were recorded.We evaluate the life quality by using Short Form-36 (SF-36). All evaluation tests are done before and after training. Participants were into randomised two groups: interval aerobic training (AAE) and continuous aerobic training (SAE).After training SAE group showed significant statistical change in every SF-36 parameter, while AAE group showing significant values except energy/fatigue. AAE group have statistically significant changes comparing to SAE group on that parameters; physical function, role limitations due to physical function, role limitations due to emotional function and general health (p\<0,05). Consequently AAE is much more tolerable comparing to SAE and AAE is considered more effective in increasing some parameters. On the other hand, we observed that both training types can be used in cardiac rehabilitation safely.
