NCT02831829

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to compare the effect of water-based and land-based exercise training, and usual care (no exercise training) in patient with coronary artery disease, on exercise capacity, vascular function, arrhythmogenic potential and cardiac autonomic function, and markers of neurohormonal activity, activated hemostasis and inflammation.

Study Arms (3)

Water-based exercise training group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Intervention: Patients randomized to the "water-based exercise training group" will undergo water-based exercise training. The immersed exercise will include two session of aerobic (water-based) and calisthenic exercise per day, six days of a week, each lasting 30 minutes.

Other: water-based exercise training

Land-based exercise training group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients randomized to the "land-based exercise training group" will undergo exercise training which will include two aerobic and calisthenic exercise session per day, six days of a week, lasting 30 minutes

Other: land-based exercise training

Control group (usual care)

NO INTERVENTION

Control group: patients randomized in control group will have usual care with no exercise

Interventions

Water-based training will be performed in upright position, in waist to xyphoid process deep thermo-neutral water at temperature of 32,8 C. The immersed exercise will include two session of aerobic and calisthenic exercise per day, six days of a week, both lasting 30 minutes

Water-based exercise training group

Land-based training will include two aerobic and calisthenic exercise session per day, six days of a week, both lasting 30 minutes

Land-based exercise training group
