Comparison Between Moderate-high Interval Exercise and Moderate Continuous Exercise in an Advanced Cardiac Rehabilitation Program

May 15, 2016 updated by: Assaf-Harofeh Medical Center

Comparison Between Moderate-high Interval Exercise and Moderate Continuous Exercise in an Advanced Cardiac Rehabilitation Program - Nine Months Follow up

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.
