Combined resistance and aerobic training is more effective than aerobic training alone in people with coronary artery disease

摘要

Objective: To review the evidence as to whether combinedaerobic and resistance training is as effective as aerobictraining at improving body composition, fitness, strengthand quality of life in people with coronary artery disease.Data sources: Cochrane Controlled Trials Register,Embase, Medline, PreMedline, SportDiscus and CINAHL,searched up to October 2009. This search was supplementedby citation tracking. Study selection: Randomisedcontrolled trials involving people with coronary arterydisease (including people who had undergone coronaryartery surgery or percutaneous intervention) in whichaerobic training was compared to combined aerobic andresistance training. Outcome measures were measures ofcardiovascular fitness, body composition measured by dualenergy X-ray absorptiometry, muscular strength, healthrelated quality of life and self efficacy. Trials involving onlypatients with heart failure were excluded.
