The objective was to evaluate the effect of two types of exercise volumes on exercise capacity, physical activity levels, and quality of life in subjects undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.A randomized controlled clinical trial was performed in 17 subjects, who were randomly assigned to two groups. The first (n = 7) was trained for eight consecutive weeks, and the second (n = 10) for 12 weeks. The six-minute walk test, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, and the SF-36 were applied before starting the cardiac rehabilitation program at 8 and 12 weeks.No significant differences were found between the intervention groups. The rise of VO2max was only significant in the 8-week group. Both groups improved the distance walked and sedentary behaviour. The 12-week intervention group improved the quality of life, specifically in physical functioning, and the 8-week intervention group in the domains of social function, physical, and emotional role. Additionally, the percentage of participants meeting physical activity recommendations was higher in the 12-week cardiac rehabilitation group.The implication for the practice is that the exercise traditionally used in cardiac rehabilitation shows early changes in exercise capacity and quality of life. The results of the levels of physical activity and sedentary behaviour improved after 12 weeks of rehabilitation without the presence of adverse events.","PeriodicalId":37315,"journal":{"name":"Physiotherapy Quarterly","volume":"35 27","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141924803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods. A total of 11 individuals participated in this pilot study. They were of both genders, mean age 70.73 ± 10.67 years, diag-nosed with idiopathic Pd, and classified in stages 1 to 4 on the Hoehn & Yahr scale. The volunteers were assessed, before and after the APT intervention, with the Unified Parkinson’s disease Rating Scale (UPdRS), sections ii (AdLs) and iii (motor sections), in addition to Parkinson’s disease Questionnaire-39 (PdQ-39) (QoL). The APT comprises multicomponent exercises developed throughout a 12-week period, in twice-a-week 40-minute sessions. The data were analysed with the Wilcoxon test and MCid values described in the literature. Results. There were no statistically significant changes in the results found ( p > 0.05), but they neared the MCid values in both scales. Conclusions. different forms to analyse a study are necessary to elucidate the applicability of MCid values in detecting an improvement or worsening in the clinical condition of people with Pd.","PeriodicalId":37315,"journal":{"name":"Physiotherapy Quarterly","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70524193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
