HIIT or high intensity interval training is an excellent way to train and not only effective but also proven extremely safe for people undergoing rehab in case of heart disease.

Rognmo, examined the risk of cardiovascular events during organized high-intensity interval exercise training and moderate-intensity training among 4846 patients with coronary heart disease in 3 Norwegian cardiac rehabilitation centers. The results of the study indicated that the risk of a cardiovascular event is low after both high-intensity exercise and moderate-intensity exercise in a cardiovascular rehabilitation setting. Considering the significant cardiovascular adaptations associated with high-intensity exercise, such exercise should be considered among patients with coronary heart disease.

It’s not just because of the stupid myths they are spreading, but surprisingly they are re-spreading the myths which […]
