High-intensity interval training compared to jumping rope

HIIT is an exercise strategy with scientific evidence for its efficacy in reducing cardiovascular events in the context of stable coronary disease.

In a meta-analysis of 12 studies, including 641 patients, exercise induced moderate to large effects on HR and BP. The main limitation of the meta-analysis is the small numbers of events. The American Heart Association recommends IIT for patients with high-risk stable coronary artery disease if supervised programs have been shown to be safe.

This paper reviews the best available evidence to inform clinicians and patients about the benefits of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) compared with jumping rope (JR) in patients with stable coronary artery disease. HIIT is a systematic and relatively easy-to-do exercise protocol that has been shown to be more effective than JR in improving aerobic capacity, fat-free mass, and muscle strength. The American Heart Association recommends IIT for patients with high-risk stable coronary artery disease if supervised programs have been shown to be safe. This review examined the literature using current medical evidence for the effectiveness of HIIT for the treatment of stable coronary artery disease (CAD). We describe HIIT in greater depth, examine the evidence for HIIT in relation to the current clinical recommendations, and outline the research to date. The American Heart Association recommends IIT for patients with high-risk stable coronary artery disease if supervised programs have been shown to be safe.

Introduction Cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death worldwide, poses a challenging public health priority. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines heart disease as one of three major types of chronic noncommunicable disease. High-intensity interval training has been adopted as a treatment for cardiovascular disease in several countries. The aim of this paper is to review the evidence for HIIT compared with jumping rope in the management of heart disease with a particular focus on the evidence from this study.
