Impact of training methods and patient characteristics on exercise capacity in patients in cardiovascular rehabilitation
Conclusion
CR patients were trained in line with current guidelines with moderate-to-high intensity and reached a considerable increase of their training volume. The physical fitness level achieved at discharge from CR depended on various factors associated with training, which supports the recommendation that CR should be offered to all cardiac patients.
