Abstract
Purpose: This study assessed acute physiological responses to a single set of low-load biceps curls to concentric failure resistance exercise (LLCF-RE; 40% of 1 repetition maximum [1RM]) compared with traditional/recommended high-load resistance exercise (HL-RE; 70% of 1RM, 10 repetitions) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).
Methods: In this randomized crossover clinical trial, 18 patients with stable CAD were randomized to 1 of 2 sequences: (A) LLCF-RE followed by HL-RE 24 to 48 hours later or (B) HL-RE followed by LLCF-RE 24 to 48 hours later. Hemodynamic responses including rate pressure product (RPP), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and heart rate (HR) were measured at baseline, immediately after exercise, and 3-minute post-exercise. Rating of perceived exertion (RPE) was also assessed.
Results: Both protocols resulted in significant increases in hemodynamic measures post-exercise (P < .05), with no significant time × condition interactions (P > .05). Bland-Altman analysis demonstrated good agreement between LLCF-RE and HL-RE with small mean biases (RPP: 3.09; SBP: 0.61 mm Hg; DBP: 3.00 mm Hg; HR: 2.28 beats/min; RPE: -0.61) and acceptable limits of agreement (RPP: -30.55 to 36.72; SBP: -25.19 to 26.41 mm Hg; DBP: -10.17 to 16.17 mm Hg; HR: -14.49 to 19.04 beats/min; RPE: -3.47 to 2.25).
Conclusions: In screened patients with CAD, LLCF-RE elicits similar cardiovascular responses to traditional HL-RE when performed with proper technique. Given its potential advantages, such as reduced joint stress, LLCF-RE may be a suitable alternative for some patients. Further research is warranted to evaluate safety, particularly across multiple sets, and to determine whether LLCF-RE yields comparable long-term benefits to HL-RE in larger and more diverse populations with CAD.
期刊介绍:
JCRP was the first, and remains the only, professional journal dedicated to improving multidisciplinary clinical practice and expanding research evidence specific to both cardiovascular and pulmonary rehabilitation. This includes exercise testing and prescription, behavioral medicine, and cardiopulmonary risk factor management. In 2007, JCRP expanded its scope to include primary prevention of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. JCRP publishes scientific and clinical peer-reviewed Original Investigations, Reviews, and Brief or Case Reports focused on the causes, prevention, and treatment of individuals with cardiovascular or pulmonary diseases in both a print and online-only format. Editorial features include Editorials, Invited Commentaries, Literature Updates, and Clinically-relevant Topical Updates. JCRP is the official Journal of the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation and the Canadian Association of Cardiac Rehabilitation.
