Effect of Aerobic Interval Training Versus Resistance Interval Training on Ejection Fraction in Post Stable Myocardial Infarction Patients
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Aerobic Interval Training and Aerobic + Resistive Interval Training for Myocardial Infarction. Completed, enrolled 26 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Randomized controlled trial (single blinded) study was conducted on 26 stable Post MI patients according to inclusion and exclusion criteria aged 35 to 65 years. Study was conducted in Rawalpindi Institute of cardiology and Pakistan Railway Hospital from July 2016 ---- December 2016.Participants was randomly allocated in control or experimental group by lottery Method. Informed consent was signed by each participant prior to enrolment. Patients in both group received standard treatment that is Aerobic Interval training whereas patients in interventional group received additional Resistance training. Post echocardiography and lipid profile was done to assess the effect of intervention on ejection fraction, cholesterol and triglycerides. The standard questionnaire Mac New QLMI was used to assess quality of life. The data was analyzed on SPSS 21

Timeline
Interventions
Aerobic Interval Training Patients in this group will perform 6 minutes of cycling followed by 3 minutes of pause and again 6 minutes of cycling followed by 3 minutes of pause and finally 6 minutes of treadmill followed by 3 minutes of rest. both groups will perform cool down exercises that include again breathing exercises, stretching and active exercises.
Aerobic + Resistive Interval Training Patients in this group; first set will perform 3 minute of cycling ,1 set of hand grippers 1.5 to 2.5 lbs (10 to 12 reps) and 1 set of biceps resistive exercises 1 Kg to 3 kg (10 to 12 reps) followed by 3minute of pause. In second set patient will perform 3 minutes of stationary cycling , 1 set of quadriceps resistive exercises 1 to 3 Kg (10 to 12 reps) again followed by 3 minutes of pause and in third set patient will perform 3 minutes of treadmill walk at 1.5 to 4 speed, and 1 set of standing ankle pumps (10 to 12 reps). both groups will perform cool down exercises that include again breathing exercises, stretching and active exercises.
