Summary

This trial will test if a new exercise program that combines high-intensity interval training and Nordic walking can improve physical and mental health in patients with coronary artery disease.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients at least 40 years old with coronary artery disease who have had a stent inserted or heart bypass surgery. They must be willing to attend exercise sessions on-site, able to perform an exercise test measuring heart and lung function, and not currently in cardiac rehab.
What is being tested?
The study is testing if high-intensity interval Nordic walking can improve physical and mental health better than standard cardiovascular rehabilitation. It's a new way of exercising that works the whole body by using special poles while walking.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed, high-intensity exercises may lead to muscle soreness, fatigue, increased heart rate during activity, and potential strain on the cardiovascular system especially in those with pre-existing conditions.
