Monitoring high‐intensity interval training in CVD patients: focus on lactate and recovery phases (705.13)

In cardiac therapy, it is relatively unknown if target exercise intensities are being met in the “recovery phases” of interval training (IT). This study describes the metabolic response to interval training in CAD patients using conventional methods and lactate sampling. Thirty‐five stable CAD patients performed step‐wise exercise testing (CPX). Heart rates at 50% ‐ 60% and 80% ‐ 90% of VO2peak (~ 60‐70% and 85‐95% of HRmax) were used to …
