Stair Climbing Outcomes in Cardiac Rehabilitation Exercise — SCORE  

Endothelial Dysfunction Clinical Trial

Official title:
A Feasible High Intensity Interval Exercise Training Intervention in Phase II Cardiac Rehabilitation

Clinical Trial Summary

This study will evaluate the effect of brief, intermittent stair climbing exercise on key cardiovascular and metabolic markers of health in individuals completing a cardiac rehabilitation program. Participants of this study will be placed into one of two exercise groups: one group will perform the standard exercise protocol currently being used by the Cardiac Health and Rehabilitation Centre at Hamilton General Hospital and the second group will perform a variation of interval exercise training, high intensity interval stair climbing.

Clinical Trial Description

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a recognized health service for the secondary prevention of CVD, unfortunately, CR is vastly underutilized, due to low referral rates and patient-related factors such as time commitment, travelling distance or user fees. After 2 weeks of CR exercise prescription, ~80% of patients opt to exercise independently rather than join a structured rehabilitation program in the community, suggesting that alternatives for current centre-based CR should focus on at-home programming with the intention of enhancing adherence and maintaining the lifestyle benefits long-term. The implementation of high-intensity interval exercise in CR programming has proven to be time-effective, enjoyable, safe, and capable of inducing similar if not superior cardiorespiratory responses, when compared to traditional, continuous CR programs. Recently, the benefits of interval stair climbing exercise in sedentary women were established, in that completing 3, 60 second bouts of high intensity stair climbing, 3 days/week for 6 weeks improved cardiorespiratory fitness, and represents a model of low-volume high-intensity interval training which is tolerable, effective and easily accessible for sedentary adults. ;
