Scientific title
Study objectivesAnaerobic threshold, as measured by cardiopulmonary exercise testing, increases after a prescribed exercise programme in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms under surveillance.
Ethics approval(s)South Tees Local Research Ethics Committee in October 2006 (ref: 06/Q1003/75).
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedAbdominal aortic aneurysms under surveillance
InterventionCardiopulmonary exercise tests - the subjects have to complete this in week zero, five and seven of the study (the control and the exercise groups both complete these tests). Six week prescribed supervised exercise programme to complete in week one to six of the study. This comprises two 30 minute exercise sessions per week (only the exercise group undergoes the prescribed exercise programme).
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureImprovement in anaerobic threshold between week zero and week seven.
Secondary outcome measuresImprovement in anaerobic threshold between week zero and week five.
