Summary

The purpose of the study is to compare home-based aerobic interval training with supervised interval training performed in groups or on a treadmill at the hospital.

Detailed description

Cardiac rehabilitation is usually first offered in hospitals, but there are several studies that show that home-based rehabilitation is equally efficient. How this comes out when exercise is organized as aerobic interval training is not known.

Conditions

• Myocardial Infarction
• Coronary Artery Disease

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Exercise training	Interval training at 90% of max heart rate. Warm-up of 10-15 minutes up to 70% of HRmax, then 4 minutes of exercise at 90%. 3 minutes of active pause between the intervals. Total 45 minutes of exercise. Twice a week.
