Brief summary

Cardiac readaptation aims to mitigate cardiovascular risks and enhance the quality of life among coronary patients. Our research laboratory has an international expertise in training optimization in top-athletes and a previous study has demonstrated the efficacy of optimizing cardiac rehabilitation through the power-force-velocity profile (PFVP). The findings exhibited significant improvements in aerobic capacity, muscular strength, and cardiovascular parameters among patients who were trained based on their PFVP. Guided training utilizing heart rate variability (HRV) is also garnering increasing interest as a means to optimize training load and promote recovery

Detailed description

Our study aims to evaluate the application of HRV in regulating training load based on fatigue levels in cardiac rehabilitation patients utilizing the PFVP framework.

Interventions

OTHERtraining strategy with adaptation of training strategies to the ANS

a training strategy for subjects whose PFVP is in favour of strength or speed with training load adjusted according to SNA

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The root mean square of successive differences in heart rate or RMSSDBaseline to 2 monthsThe root mean square of successive differences in heart rate or RMSSD will be measured from a nocturnal Holter ECG recording at the end of 8 weeks of exercise retraining and compared with the initial pre-training value. weeks of exercise re-training and compared with the initial pre-training value.
