Characterising the application of the "progressive overload" principle of exercise training within cardiac rehabilitation: a United Kingdom-based community programme. PLoS ONE (online), 15(8), article number e0237197. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0237197

Recent concerns have cast doubt over the effectiveness of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programmes for improving cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in patients with a history of cardiac disease in the United Kingdom (UK). Through an observational study, w...

Does exercise prescription based on estimated heart rate training zones exceed the ventilatory anaerobic threshold in patients with coronary heart disease undergoing usual-care cardiovascular rehabilitation? A United Kingdom perspective. (2020)
Journal Article
PYMER, S., NICHOLS, S., PROSSER, J., BIRKETT, S., CARROLL, S. and INGLE, L. 2020. Does exercise prescription based on estimated heart rate training zones exceed the ventilatory anaerobic threshold in patients with coronary heart disease undergoing usual-care cardiovascular rehabilitation? A United Kingdom perspective. European journal of preventive cardiology [online], 27(6), pages 579-589. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1177/2047487319852711

In the United Kingdom (UK), exercise intensity is prescribed from a fixed percentage range (% heart rate reserve (%HRR)) in cardiac rehabilitation programmes. We aimed to determine the accuracy of this approach by comparing it with an objective, thre...

Routine exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation does not increase aerobic fitness: a CARE CR study. (2020)
Journal Article
NICHOLS, S., TAYLOR, C., GOODMAN, T., PAGE, R., KALLVIKBACKA-BENNETT, A., NATION, F., CLARK, A.L., BIRKETT, S.T., CARROLL, S. and INGLE, L. 2020. Routine exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation does not increase aerobic fitness: a CARE CR study. International journal of cardiology [online], 305, pages 25-34. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijcard.2020.01.044

Recent evidence suggests that routine exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) may not lead to a substantial increase in estimated peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak). This could reduce the potential benefits of CR and explain why CR no longer improves pa...
