The Effect of Different Exercise Programs in Coronary Artery Patients: A Randomized Controlled Study

There are studies showing the superiority of HIIT protocols in patients with CAD in the literature, however there is no consensus on the use of HIIT protocols in CAD patients. In addition, in these studies, the HIIT protocols differ in severity and duration and there is no optimal HIIT protocol. Therefore, this study was planed to investigate of two different HIIT protocols and one MICT protocols, which are more commonly used in patients with CAD in the literature on exercise capacity, quality of life, body composition, physical activity level and fear of movement.

Treatment and study plan

Exercise

Other

Modarete Intensity Continous Training: Medium intensity continuous exercise training will be performed. Exercise intensity will be adjusted as 50-70% of maximal power.

High Intensity Interval Training I: It will be four cycles consisting of 4 minute high intensity exercise phase and 3 minute active recovery phase. High intensity phase will be adjusted as 85-100% of maximal power and active recovery phase as 50-70% of maximal power.

High Intensity Interval Training II: It will be 10 cycles consisting of 1 minute high intensity exercise phase and 1 minute active recovery phase. High intensity phase will be adjusted as 85-100% of maximal power and active recovery phase as 50-70% of maximal power.
