Brief Summary

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

In this controlled trial, patients referred to post-myocardial infarction cardiac rehabilitation will be randomized to either interval or continuous training.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The trial would i) compare the acute effects of each exercise type on selected cardiovascular indicators; ii) compare the chronic effects of each exercise type on selected cardiovascular indicators; iii) provide information on the association between acute and chronic effects of each exercise type; iv) provide insight into possible mechanisms of effectiveness of each exercise type; v) identify the most safe and effective exercise type for patients with coronary artery disease.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Interval training group

Patients to be randomized to the 'interval training group' will have exercise training sessions 3 times per week for a period of 12 weeks. During training, they will undergo interval exercise series composed of high-intensity intervals (80-90% of peak exercise performance) and low-intensity intervals (60-70% of peak exercise performance).

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Exercise training

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients to be randomized to the 'interval training group' or 'continuous training group' will undergo exercise training sessions with different intensity levels.

Continuous training group

Patients to be randomized to the 'continuous training group' will have exercise training sessions 3 times per week for a period of 12 weeks. During training, they will undergo moderate continuous exercise training at 75% of peak exercise performance.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Exercise training

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients to be randomized to the 'interval training group' or 'continuous training group' will undergo exercise training sessions with different intensity levels.
