  • Title: High-Intensity Interval Training in Cardiac Rehabilitation.
    Author: Dun Y, Smith JR, Liu S, Olson TP.
    Journal: Clin Geriatr Med; 2019 Nov; 35(4):469-487. PubMed ID: 31543179.
    Abstract:
    Recently, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) has been recognized as a safe and effective alternative to moderate-intensity continuous training for older patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) in cardiac rehabilitation settings in an effort to improve health outcomes. This brief review considers general principles and suggestions for prescription of HIIT for older patients with CVD, specific challenges pertaining to older adults, the physiologic mechanisms by which HIIT contributes to improvements in peak Vo2, and the effects of HIIT on cardiovascular health in older patients with coronary artery disease and heart failure.
