“…In a pilot study [13], four patients with chronic heart failure (New York Heart Association class III) undertook interval training. Three of the patients increased their aerobic capacity by 17%, 25%, and 52%, respectively, and the fourth patient did not complete cycle ergometry testing because of limitations related to his pacemaker.…”

Contemporary exercise guidelines focus on aerobic exercise conditioning that uses exercise intensities from 40% to 85% of maximal aerobic capacity for people who are at risk for cardiovascular disease. After a position statement from the American College of Sports Medicine challenged exercise practitioners to study exercise intensity, interval training began to emerge in the literature. Interval training involves having participants exercise briefl y at higher exercise intensities (90%-95% of maximum oxygen consumption) followed by a period of recovery. Although the net effect of interval training is aerobic, this style of training involves periodic excursions of exercise intensity into "anaerobic" metabolism and appears to better stimulate whole-body cardiorespiratory improvements as well as cellular signaling involved in metabolism and energy fl ux. Recent reports demonstrate that interval training is effective in the elderly and patients with peripheral artery disease, intermittent claudication, coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

“…The CON group continued with their normal Cardio Club fitness program, consisting of two to three sessions per week according to a national standard program (The Ullevaal Model) specialized for coronary patients [4]. This training model consists of warming up, 2 to 3 intervals of step, running or other exercises in six minutes duration with increasing intensity with a heart rate of 85-90 % of HFmax at the end.…”

Objective: We have measured the effect of combined strength and high intensity endurance training on physical capacity and lipid profile in patients with heart and coronary diseases. We wanted to see whether cardiac patients were able to increase training intensity to improve strength without losing endurance capacity.Methods: Thirty heart-operated subjects participated in an intervention period of 10 weeks. The age of the participants was between 52-72 years. The Resistance-Interval group (RE-INT) practiced four times a week with two intensive endurance (spinning) sessions and two strength training sessions. The endurance training consisted of intervals where the heart rate reached>90% of maximum heart rate. Strength training was performed in three series with a load of 8-12 repetition maximum (RM). The subjects in the control group (CON) performed two to three sessions per week according to a national program specialized for coronary patients (called "Ullevaal model"). We had a randomized controlled trial. Results:Maximal leg strength increased in both groups during the intervention, but the increase was higher in the RE-INT group (from 107.9 ± 8.1 kg to 162.0 ± 8.4 kg) compared to the CON group (from 110.8 ± 8.9 to 125.4 ± 9.5 ) (p<0.001). Strength in chest press, the maximal oxygen uptake and the concentration of high densitylipoprotein (HDL) protein increased in both groups during the test period. However, no differences were observed between the RE-INT and CON group. Low density-lipoprotein (LDL), blood pressure and body weight did not change during the intervention period in any of the groups. Conclusion:Cardiac patients were able to increase training intensity, strength and maximal oxygen uptake during a period of 10 weeks. We found that combined training has an effective impact on the increase in leg strength. The increase in muscle strength can be vital for the everyday quality of life in cardiac patients.

“…At the end of day an equally matched person has some time to discuss any issues that were not mentioned earlier. Early after discharge from the hospital, patients are also invited to participate in a group-based exercise training programme guided by a physiotherapist, 2-3 times a week for 8-12 weeks, based on the Norwegian Ullevål model [13]. Patients with increased risk for recurrent coronary events are referred to the Department of Preventive Cardiology, OUS for further evaluation of risk factors and intervention.…”
