According to the GRADE system , there is very low quality evidence that functional training is better than other interventions to improve cardiovascular parameters .
BACKGROUND Functional training is a new training vision that was prepared from the gesture imitation of daily activities .
Although your use has become popular in clinical practice , the influence of the several cardiorespiratory adjustments performed during the functional training in different population s and conditions is unknown .
So , the aim of this systematic review was to gather information in the literature regarding the influence of functional training on cardiorespiratory parameters .
Resistance exercise training improves heart rate variability and muscle performance: a randomized controlled trial in coronary artery disease patients.
BACKGROUND Resistance exercise ( RE ) is an important part of cardiac rehabilitation . However , it is not known about the low intensity of RE training that could modify the heart rate variability ( HRV ) , muscular strength and endurance in patients with coronary artery disease ( CAD ) . AIM To investigate the effects of high repetition/low load resistance training ( HR/LL-RT ) program on HRV and muscular strength and endurance in CAD patients . DESIGN R and omized and controlled trial . SETTING Patients seen at the Cardiopulmonary Physical Therapy Laboratory between May 2011 and November 2013 . POPULATION Twenty male patients with CAD were r and omized to a training group ( 61.3±5.2 years ) or control group ( 61±4.4 years ) . METHODS 1 repetition maximum ( 1-RM ) maneuver , discontinuous exercise test on the leg press ( DET-L ) , and resting HRV were performed before and after 8 weeks of HR/LL-RT on a 45 ° leg press . RMSSD , SD1 , mean HR and ApEn indices were calculated . The HR/LL-RT program consisted of a lower limb exercise using a 45 ° leg press ; 3 sets of 20 repetitions , two times a week . The initial load was set at 30 % of the 1-RM load and the duration of the HR/LL-RT program was performed for 8 weeks . RESULTS After 8 weeks of HR/LL-RT there were significant increases of RMSSD and SD1 indices in the training group only ( P<0.05 ) . There was a significant decrease in mean HR after HR/LL-RT in the training group ( P<0.05 ) . There was a significantly higher ApEn after in the training group ( P<0.05 ) . There were significantly higher values in the training group in contrast to the control group ( P<0.05 ) . CONCLUSION These results show positive improvements on HRV , as well as muscle strength and endurance in CAD patients . CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT Eight weeks of HR/LL-RT is an effective sufficient to beneficially modify important outcomes as HRV , muscle strength and endurance in CAD patients
