  Objective: To study the effect of combined resistive and aerobic training versus aerobic training alone on coronary risk factors in obese coronary patients. Design: Randomized clinical trial. Setting: Outpatient setting. Participants: 50 coronary artery disease patients completed the study and were randomized to group I aerobic exercise (n=25), and group II combined resistive and aerobic exercise (n=25). Interventions: All patients had dietary counselling, stress management and aerobic exercise 3 times per week for 36 sessions. Group II added resistive exercise from the 18th session. All exercises were telemetry-monitored. Results: Strength gains for group II were greater than for group I on the three resistance machines (P<0.01). P.. View More»
