The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of the applied whole-body vibration training (WBV) as additional training to standard rehabilitation programme on exercise tolerance, evaluated through an exercise test, blood lipid profile, and the changes in selected echocardiographic parameters of patients after myocardial infarction. The study involved 63 males. The subjects were divided into two groups: standard—ST (27) and with vibration training—ST + WBV (36). All the subjects had undergone angioplasty with stent implantation. The standard and with vibration training group carried out a 24-day improvement program comprising 22 training units. Each session consisted of endurance, general stamina, and resistance training. Instead of resistance training, the experimental group performed exercises on the vibration platform. Statistically significant changes in both groups were observed in the parameters of the echocardiographic exercise test, such as test duration (p < 0.001), distance covered (p < 0.001), MET (p < 0.001), VO2max (p < 0.001), and HRrest (p < 0.01). The echocardiographic test revealed significant improvement of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction in both groups (ST + WBV group p = 0.024, ST group p = 0.005). There were no statistically significant changes in blood lipid profile and body mass and composition.

“…The following was carried out before commencing the training program and immediately after its completion: Electrocardiographic exercise test on a treadmill (six-stage Bruce protocol: stage 1 = 2.7 km/h, 10%, stage 2 = 4.0 km/h, 12%, stage 3 = 5.5 km/h, 14%, stage 4 = 6.8 km/h, 16%, stage 5 = 8.0 km/h, 18%, stage 6 = 8.8 km/h, 20%) Exercise test using the Excalibur Sport cycle ergometer (Lode, Groningen, The Netherlands) [ 18 ]. The following were measured: test duration (min), distance covered (m), energy cost (MET), heart rate at rest and maximum (BPM), systemic blood pressure at rest and maximum (mmHg), criteria for ending the test (physiological: submaximum heart rate, i.e., 85% of HRmax determined on the basis of the following formula: 208–0.7 × age or fatigue; pathological: stenocardial pain, ST segment, and T-wave changes, rhythm and/or conduction disorders, blood pressure increase above 250/120 mmHg), maximum oxygen uptake (VO 2 max).…”

Background Standard endurance training used from the second stage of cardiac rehabilitation has many common features with indoor cycling training which is used in fitness clubs. In the study, an attempt was made to evaluate the usefulness of this form of training in a 24-day rehabilitation program for patients after myocardial infarction. The study examined a group of 64 patients (51.34 ± 8.02 years) who were divided into two groups: the IC group (32 patients aged 53.40 ± 4.31 years) with indoor cycling training instead of standard endurance training; and the ST group (32 patients aged 55.31 ± 6.45 years) performing standard training. The level of exercise tolerance (cardiopulmonary exercise testing on a treadmill—Bruce’s protocol), hemodynamic indicators of the left ventricle (echocardiography) and blood lipid profile (laboratory test) were assessed. Results In the IC group there was a significant increase in the test duration (9.21 ± 2.02 vs 11.24 ± 1.26 min; p < 0.001), the MET value (9.16 ± 1.30 vs 10.73 ± 1.23; p = 0.006) and VO2max (37.27 ± 3.23 vs 39.10 ± 3.17 ml/kg/min; p < 0.001). Parallel changes were observed in the ST group, where the following parameters improved: the test duration (9.41 ± 0.39 vs 10.91 ± 2.22; p < 0.001), MET value (8.65 ± 0.25 vs 9.86 ± 1.12; p = 0.002) and VO2max (36.89 ± 6.22 vs 38.76 ± 3.44; p < 0.001). No statistically significant changes were found in the hemodynamic indices of the left ventricle and the lipid profile. Also, the intergroup analysis did not show any statistical significance. Conclusion Based on the research results, it was found that indoor cycling training in the second phase of cardiac rehabilitation is a safe form of therapy and therefore may be an interesting alternative method to the classic bicycle ergometer exercise in the stage of early cardiac rehabilitation.

“…Traditional physical training, in line with the existing standards of management, which begins in the second stage of cardiac rehabilitation, is well known and described [1,2,3]. Few publications deal with the issue of the effectiveness of innovative forms of training in patients with diseases of the cardiovascular system [4,5,6]. The ever younger age of cardiac patients, the progress of diagnostics and the development of interventional and surgical treatment methods require the gradual introduction of various forms of physical training.…”
