Efectos del entrenamiento por intervalos de alta intensidad sobre capacidad aeróbica en personas con enfermedad de las arterias coronarias

The aim of this review was to know the influence of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on aerobic capacity in people with coronary artery disease. We conducted a review of systematic reviews and meta-analyzes in PubMed up to 4 June 2019. A total of 23 articles were identified, of which 3 were finally selected for this review. The quality of the included studies was high (AMSTAR-2). The HIIT presented significant improvements in aerobic capacity in this population. The HIIT with duration between 7-12 weeks and intensity higher than 90% HRpeak - 80% VO2peak reported greater improvements in aerobic capacity. Further studies are necessary to establish consistent conclusions about the effects of other elements of HIIT prescription in this population.
