About this study

Official title: Influence of Interval Aerobic Exercise Training on Cardiorespiratory and Metabolic Variables and Inflammatory Markers in Patients With Different Level of Coronary Artery Lesions

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of interval training, based-intensity on 70% at 110% of oxygen consumption and workload attained on ventilatory anaerobic threshold, on aerobic functional capacity, autonomic modulation of heart rate, metabolic profile in patients with and without coronary artery disease.

Read the detailed description

Background: Exercise training has been essential component of the cardiac rehabilitation. However, it is not known if interval training based on ventilatory anaerobic threshold could be effective for improving aerobic functional capacity and metabolic profile.

Objective:To investigate the effects of interval training, based-intensity on 70% at 110% of oxygen consumption and workload attained on ventilatory anaerobic threshold, on aerobic functional capacity, autonomic modulation of heart rate, metabolic profile in patients with and without coronary artery disease.

Design: Prospective randomized controlled trial. Subjects: 68 men between 40 and 65 years old.

All subjects will be submitted:

  1. - Clinical assessment: personal data, lifestyle and food, family history, current and previous history of disease.
  2. - Physical examination: cardiac and lung auscultation,measurement of heart rate, blood pressure, body weight and height.
  3. - Heart rate will be recorded at rest, in the supine position for 15 min, standing position for 10 min and respiratory sinus arrhythmia maneuver.
  4. - Submaximal or symptom-limited cardiopulmonary exercise test on cycle ergometer will be performed to determined the ventilatory anaerobic threshold.
  5. - Two cardiopulmonary exercise testing on treadmill at constant workload (moderate and high intensity). Expiratory flow limitation will be evaluated by flow-volume loops at the end of each exercise workload.
  6. - Blood samples will be collected to analyze glycemic and lipid profiles.
  7. - After these procedures, the subjects will be randomly assigned to one of two groups, trained group or control group.
  8. - Interval training program will consist 30-40 minutes each exercise session, three times a week for 16 weeks, with a workload determined on the basis of ventilatory anaerobic threshold.
  9. - At 48 hours after the last day of training, the subjects will repeat all experimental procedures as in baseline testing. Controls will be retested 16 weeks after the completion of baseline testing.
  10. - All subjects will be instructed to maintain their habitual diet without a standardized caloric restriction.

Thus, it is expected that interval training will promote beneficial physiological adaptations in patients with and without coronary artery disease.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Intensity of interval training

    The IT intensity levels will be prescribed based on workload (W) attained at ventilatory anaerobic threshold, i. e., at 70%, 80%, 100% and 110%

    Measured: 40 min

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Aerobic functional capacity

    Change in oxygen consumption at ventilatory anaerobic threshold will be assessed to compare changes on oxygen uptake at baseline and after a 16 weeks of interval training.

    Measured: baseline and after interval training period (16 weeks)

  2. Autonomic modulation of heart rate

    Change in heart rate variability indices will be assessed to compare changes on cardiac parasympathetic and sympathetic modulations at baseline and after a 16 weeks of interval training.

    Measured: baseline and after interval training period (16 weeks)

  3. Metabolic profile

    Change in glycemic and lipid profiles will be assessed to compare changes in metabolic profile at baseline and after a 16 weeks of interval training.

    Measured: baseline and after interval training period (16 weeks)

  4. Expiratory flow limitation

    Investigate the mechanisms that limit expiratory airflow

    Measured: Expiratory flow limitation will be evaluated by flow-volume loops at the end of each exercise workload

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Nayara Y Tamburus, M.D. (+5519998821224, nayaratamburus@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Intensity of interval training (time frame: 40 min). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02313831, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
