Aerobic Interval Training in Cardiac Rehabilitation

Effect of High Intensity Aerobic Interval Training in Cardiac Rehabilitation

The purpose of the study is to compare home-based aerobic interval training with supervised interval training performed in groups or on a treadmill at the hospital.

Cardiac rehabilitation is usually first offered in hospitals, but there are several studies that show that home-based rehabilitation is equally efficient. How this comes out when exercise is organized as aerobic interval training is not known.

Inclusion Criteria:

• coronary artery disease
• age over 18
• referred to cardiac rehabilitation
• exercise tolerance demonstrated

Exclusion Criteria:

• severe arrhythmia
• heart failure
