Central, peripheral, and generalized adaptations in cardiac rehabilitation Goodman, Leonard Stephen
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether central adaptations are responsible for. a transfer of fitness to untrained limbs in 13, 9 and 7 CAD/post-MI patients exercising in a walk/jog (WJ) (Legs only) , an aerobic circuit (CT) (arm+legs) program, and a low exercise intensity control group (LC) respectively, for 6 months. Graded exercise tests to determine maximum arm and cycle (leg) aerobic capacity (VO₂peak) and ventilatory threshold (VT) was measured using a SensorMedics Metabolic Measurement Cart, and an arm ergometer and electronically braked cycle ergometer, respectively. Left ventricular (LV) function and absolute volumes (calculated by non-geometric methods) during cycle ergometry were measured by gated bloodpool radionuclide angiograms (RNA). Cycle maximal aerobic capacity (VO₂peak) increased in CT and WJ: 1.96. ± 0.58 to 2.17 ± 0.70 (P
