Summary

Telerehabilitation has the potential to become an alternative attitude to outpatient cardiac rehabilitation. The aim of our study is to research the method of high-intensity interval training in the home environment using telerehabilitation. Investigators assume that the high-intensity interval training form of telerehabilitation, using a heart rate monitor as a tool for backing up training data, can improve physical fitness and lead to higher peak oxygen uptake as the traditional moderate-intensity continuous training. The study is designed as a monocentral randomized controlled trial at University Hospital Brno in the Czech Republic.

After the coronary event, eligible patients will be randomly (in 1:1 ratio) separated into two groups: the experimental high-intensity interval training group and the moderate-intensity continuous control group. Both groups undergo a 12-week telerehabilitation training program with a 52-week follow-up period. The primary outcome observed will be the effect of intervention expressed by changes in peak oxygen uptake values.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

High-Intensity Interval Training

Remotely monitored exercises will be performed at home. The high-intensity interval group warms-up for 5 minutes at moderate intensity (65-75% of maximal heart rate). After warm-up exercise, will continue in 4 minutes intervals at high-intensity to reach the target zone (85-95% of maximal heart rate) Each interval will be separated by 3 minutes of active recoveries (at 65-75% of maximal heart rate). The session ends with a 3-minute cool-down phase. Overall training exercise time will be 33 minutes - isocaloric compared to moderate-intensity continous training group. All participants will train using a heart rate monitor during each workout.

BEHAVIORAL

Moderate-intensity continuous training

Remotely monitored exercises will be performed at home. Patients in the moderate-intensity continuous training group will perform a 41-minute constant workout with an intensity of 65-75% of maximum heart rate, representing the same total training load as the high-intensity aerobic exercise group. All participants will train using a heart rate monitor during each workout.
