The Effects of Combined Exercise Training on Exercise Capacity in Cardiac Rehabilitation

NCT01921036 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 70

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Seventy patients in cardiac rehabilitation with maximal exercise capacity less than 1.4 watt per kilogram bodyweight will be randomized 1:1 into either an intervention training (IN) group or usual care (UC). The IN patients will perform supervised endurance and resistance exercise for approximately 90 minutes once a week and traditional cardiac rehabilitation (TCR) once a week; the UC patients will perform TCR twice a week. The intervention is planned for six months with a follow-up of a further six months. The primary investigation is differences between IN and UC with regard to changes in exercise capacity (max watt/kgBW).
