The Clinical Effect of Adaptive Posture-balance Cardiac Rehabilitation Exercise on Cardiovascular Diseases

The whole experiment included one-month APBCRE therapy and two assessments. The one-month APBCRE consisted of twelve exercise sessions, evenly three times per week. At baseline and after rehabilitation, participants underwent one assessment, including car-diopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), resting metabolic rate (RMR) detection, and quality of life questionnaire (QoL). The primary outcomes were exercise capacity measured by function parameters at anaerobic threshold (AT) and other CPET physiological indexes. The secondary endpoints were the RMR level and QoL score.

Treatment and study plan

Adaptive posture-balance cardiac rehabilitation exercise

Behavioral

The process of APBCRE consisted of four parts: breathing training and warm-up, aerobic exercise, resistance exercise, and flexibility exercise. The first part lasted for 5-15 minutes, based on balance exercise. The specific steps of balance exercise included stretching of upper limbs, legs, waist, and other parts. And the second part was generally moderate-intensity endurance exercise, thresholding for 60%-75% VO2max/kg metabolic equivalents (METs), 60%-70% maximum heart rate, rating of perceived exertion (RPE) Borg grade 12-13. The exercise duration of this part was usually 30 min. During the self-created APBCRE, the resistance exercise was carried out with the help of the body-building vehicle, and its power was adjusted based on danger assessment level and oxygen uptake at anaerobic threshold. The last part usually lasted for 5-10 min for each-level participants. The total exercise time for one session was generally 50-70 min.
