The Claim
High-intensity interval training leads to greater improvements in peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) compared to moderate-intensity continuous training in patients with coronary artery disease, with a mean difference of 2.11 mL/kg/min (95% CI: 1.14 to 3.07), based on low-certainty evidence from randomized controlled trials.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Doing short bursts of intense exercise might boost heart fitness more than steady, moderate workouts for people with heart disease — on average by a small but measurable amount.
