Aerobic Interval Training in Cardiac Rehabilitation

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Coronary Artery Disease; Myocardial Infarction
• Interventions: Other: Exercise training

• Registration Number: NCT00964067
• Lead Sponsor: Norwegian University of Science and Technology

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to compare home-based aerobic interval training with supervised interval training performed in groups or on a treadmill at the hospital.

Detailed Description

Cardiac rehabilitation is usually first offered in hospitals, but there are several studies that show that home-based rehabilitation is equally efficient. How this comes out when exercise is organized as aerobic interval training is not known.
