Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.
