Effect of maximal-intensity and high-intensity interval training on exercise capacity and Quality of Life in patients with acute myocardial infarction: a randomized controlled trial

CONCLUSIONS: Compared to HIIT and usual care, MIIT significantly increased the V̇O<inf>2max</inf> and was as safe as HIIT in patients with acute MI with low and moderate cardiac risk in CR. Additionally, MIIT and HIIT were superior to usual care in terms of improving the HRQoL.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Our results suggest that increased intensity in phase II CR could result in better outcomes in terms of V̇O<inf>2max</inf> increment in patients with acute MI and low and moderate cardiac risk in CR.PMID:37906165 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.23.08094-2
