BIZZOZERO PERONI, Bruno  y  DIAZ GONI, Valentina. Effects of interval training vs. continuous training on the aerobic capacity of patients with coronary artery disease. Pensar en Movimiento [online]. 2019, vol.17, n.2, pp.133-162. ISSN 1659-4436.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/pensarmov.v17i2.37766.

The aim of this review was to compare the influence of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) with moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on aerobic capacity and other relevant variables in patients with coronary artery disease (EAC). We reviewed the systematic studies and meta-analysis in PubMed up to June 4th, 2019. A total of 22 articles were identified, of which 6 were selected for this review. The methodological quality was evaluated using the Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews 2 (AMSTAR-2) tool. The studies selected analyzed HIIT and MICT effects in adult patients (average ages ranging between 52-76). The overall quality of the included studies was moderate-high (AMSTAR-2). HIIT showed greater improvements over peak oxygen consumption and peak heart rate compared to MICT. This review adds further evidence that HIIT presents clinically significant improvements in aerobic capacity compared to MICT. Further studies are needed to establish consistent conclusions about the effects of HIIT and MICT on other relevant variables.
