Funded Activity Summary

This project aims to investigate if high intensity interval training can be successfully integrated into a hospital-based cardiac rehabilitation program as a practical and safe alternative to the usual care exercise protocol (moderate intensity continuous training). We expect high intensity interval training will be a safe and practical option for appropriate patients, and will offer greater improvements in fitness, exercise adherence, cardiovascular risk factors, and intra-abdominal fat.
