High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) improves peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) more than Moderate-Intensity Continuous Training (MICT) in cardiac patients, although both are safe and effective for improving exercise capacity.

If you are stable after a heart event, High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) can boost your fitness (VO2peak) more than steady moderate exercise. However, both are safe. If you are new to exercise or have heart failure, start with moderate intensity and build up volume before trying high intensity.

GoodQualifiesHIGH confidence
16 der 17 Studien zeigten eine Überlegenheit des HIIT (VO2peak SMD 0,34 ml/kg/min; p < 0,00 001; I2 = 28 %)... Sowohl in der MICT-Gruppe... als auch in der HIIT-Gruppe... nahm die VO2peak signifikant zu... Zwischen den Gruppen ergab sich weder nach 12 Wochen noch im Follow-up nach 1 Jahr ein Unterschied.
