Scientific titleClinical benefits of additional resistance-type exercise during an endurance-type exercise intervention in coronary artery disease patients: a randomised controlled trial
Study acronymSTIMCARE
Study objectivesWe hypothesise that by adding resistance-type exercise during an endurance-type exercise intervention, significantly greater clinical benefits are achieved in coronary artery disease patients.
Ethics approval(s)Medical Ethical Committee of Jessa Hospital approved on the 29th January 2007 (ref: 07.48/cardio07.081)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedCoronary artery disease
InterventionAll subjects exercised under close supervision of experienced physiotherapists three days per week for a total duration of six weeks in the cardiac rehabilitation centre of the hospital. Exercise training intensity was determined by baseline VO2 peak assessment: subjects exercised at a heart rate corresponding to 65% of baseline VO2 peak, for 40 minutes each exercise training session (17 minutes cycling, 13 minutes walking, 10 minutes arm cranking). Subjects were randomly (by coin) assigned to an endurance-training group, or combined endurance and strength-training group.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure1. Maximal exercise capacity
2. Sub-maximal exercise capacity
3. Muscle strength
4. Blood plasma lipid profile and glycaemic control
5. Habitual activity level

These measurements were executed at entry of rehabilitation, and after 7 weeks of rehabilitation.
Secondary outcome measures1. Blood endothelial progenitor cell
2. Cytokine content

These measurements were executed at entry of rehabilitation, and after 7 weeks of rehabilitation.
