Research has compared the effects of moderate intensity continuous training (MCT) versus high intensity interval training (HIIT) in phase II cardiac rehabilitation patients. However, the results from these studies have conflicting results. Therefore, there was a need for further research on the topic. The purpose of the current study is to evaluate if HIIT leads to greater improvements in peak volume of oxygen consumed (VO2) when compared to MCT in a group of phase II cardiac rehab patients. Both exercise groups, MCT and HIIT, improved their peak VO2, 12MWT distance, resting systolic blood pressure, resting diastolic blood pressure, score of depression, score of anxiety, score of stress on the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale -21, and the Patient Health Questionnaire - 9 with no significant difference in improvements between the two exercise groups. There was a statistically significant difference in improvements between the two exercise groups resting heart rate with the HIIT group improving greater than the MCT group. The results of this study suggest that HIIT can be used as an effective alternative to MCT on improving functional capacity in a group of phase II cardiac rehabilitation patients.
