The Influence of Regular Walking at Different Times of Day on Blood Lipids and Inflammatory Markers in Sedentary Patients With Coronary Artery Disease
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating walking for Coronary Artery Disease. Completed, enrolled 330 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
It has been well known that moderate and regular levels of physical activity has a favorable effect on many of the established risk factors related to coronary artery disease (CAD). Given that exercise in the morning has a greater potential for inducing sudden cardiac death and myocardial ischemia, it may be sensible for patients with CAD not to take exercise at this time. Our previous study indicated that the protective effect of exercise in the evening was greater than morning. However, which times of day to exercise could achieve the greatest improvements in lipids and inflammatory markers remains unclear. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the responses of lipid profiles and inflammatory markers to walking at different times of day in sedentary patients with CAD.

Interventions
Participants in both walking groups were requested to walk at the speed of 2.5 miles/h for 30 min/day or more on at least 5 days/week for a period of 12 weeks.One group was asked to walk in the morning and the other group was asked to walk in the evening.
