Table 3. Recommendations on HIIT Protocol for Heart Failure (HF) and Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) Patients [38]

Disease Frequency, d/wk Duration program, wks Session duration, min Intensity of recovery, peak VO2, % Ratio, work/recovery
HF ≥ 3 (2-5) ≥ 6 (6-24) 30-60 (28-60) ≥ 40% (40-70%) ≥ 1.33 (0.66-1.33)
CAD ≥ 2 (2-5) ≥ 6 (4-52) 30-60 (28-60) ≥ 40% (0-70%) ≥ 1 (0.5-1.33)
CAD: coronary artery disease, HF: heart failure, HIIT: high-intensity interval training, peak VO2: peak oxygen uptake
