High Intensity Interval Training: breaking paradigms in cardiovascular rehabilitation
Abstract
Purpose: address the acute responses of high intensity interval training, as well as chronic adaptations generated by even in cardiac rehabilitation programs and discuss their practical applications when compared to traditional cardiac rehabilitation programs. Methods: The search was conducted in Medline/Pubmed, where clinical trials were reviewed only for the acute response and randomized clinical trials for chronic adaptations, and who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria previously established Results: In total, 19 original studies were analyzed, eight studies on acute responses and chronic adaptations over 11 articles. Studies on acute responses to high-intensity interval training showed securitylevel and metabolic responses similar to continuous moderate training. Studies on acute responses to high-intensity interval training showed security level and metabolic responses similar to continuous moderate training. Regarding the chronic response, the studies showed a high effectiveness of interval training in cardiac rehabilitation of various diseases, providing both beneficial effects on functional capacity, as in physiological functions and quality of life. Conclusion: The high-intensity interval training appears as safer alternative and beneficial, and can generate higher cardiopulmonary adaptations in protocols with shorter duration per session, should be considered their inclusion in cardiac rehabilitation programs.
