Study Summary

This trial will compare the effects of two different HIIT programs on fitness, heart function, and muscle oxygen uptake.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 18 who speak English and can consent to participate. It's specifically for those with certain heart conditions like acute coronary syndrome or stable angina, who are recommended non-surgical cardiac rehab. People post-heart surgery, with heart devices, or unable to do structured exercise aren't eligible.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares two types of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in cardiac rehab: Constant HIIT (CON-HIIT) and Progressive HIIT (PRO-HIIT). The goal is to see which one better improves fitness levels, heart function, and muscle oxygen uptake.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While the trial itself doesn't involve medication that could cause side effects, high-intensity exercise may lead to muscle soreness, fatigue, shortness of breath during activity or increased risk of injury if not properly monitored.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Progressive interval-training groupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Subjects will complete an interval-training program during which the number of intervals and the duration of each interval are changed across the 12-week cardiac rehabilitation program.

Group II: Standard-care interval-training groupActive Control1 Intervention

Subjects will complete a standard interval-training program that remains constant for the entire 12 weeks of cardiac rehabilitation.
