Response to Exercise Training During Cardiac Rehabilitation Differs by Sex.

CONCLUSIONS: While there were no differences in training effect estimated by METs, directly measured VO2peak showed a significantly lower training response for women despite adjusting for covariates. In addition, 18% of patients did not see any improvement in VO2peak. Alternatives to traditional CR exercise programming need to be considered. PMID: 32796493 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
