Steady vs. sprint: which exercise heals a damaged heart best?
NCT ID NCT04190394
Summary
This study aimed to find out which type of exercise is better for helping the heart recover after a heart attack. Researchers enrolled 100 adults who had a recent heart attack and randomly assigned them to one of two 8-week exercise programs: steady, continuous training or high-intensity interval training. They used special heart scans to measure how well the heart muscle was squeezing and relaxing before and after the exercise programs to see which method led to better improvement.
