Aerobic Exercise and Oxygen Uptake Efficiency Slope in Coronary Artery Disease

March 19, 2015 updated by: Danilo Marcelo Leite do Prado, Hospital TotalCor

Continuous vs. Interval Exercise Training on Oxygen Uptake Efficiency Slope in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease

Thus, the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of continuos exercise training (CET) and interval exercise trainining (IET) on oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) in patients with coronary artery disease.

Conditions

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

The oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) is a submaximal index that incorporates cardiovascular, peripheral and pulmonary factors that determine ventilatory response to exercise. There is scarce information about the effects of the mode and intensity of exercise training on OUES in patients with coronary artery disease.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Continuous exercise training
The continuous exercise training was performed on a treadmill with a 50-minutes duration and intensity at ventilatory anaerobic threshold.
Other: Aerobic exercise training

The continuous exercise training was performed on a treadmill with a 50-minutes duration and intensity at ventilatory anaerobic threshold.

The interval exercise training consisted of 7 sets of 3 minutes at respiratory compensation point and 7 sets of 3 minutes of exercise at moderate intensity corresponding to the ventilatory anaerobic threshold totaling 42 minutes

Other Names:
  • interval training
  • continuos training
Experimental: interval exercise training
The interval exercise training consisted of 7 sets of 3 minutes at respiratory compensation point and 7 sets of 3 minutes of exercise at moderate intensity corresponding to the ventilatory anaerobic threshold totaling 42 minutes
