Background We aimed to compare: (1) two different periodized aerobic training protocols (linear (LP) versus non-linear (NLP)) on the cardiopulmonary exercise response in patients with coronary heart disease; (2) the proportion of responders between both training protocols. Design A randomized controlled trial. Methods A total of 39 coronary heart disease patients completed either LP ( n = 20, 65 ± 10 years) or NLP ( n = 19, 66 ± 5 years). All patients completed a cardiopulmonary exercise testing with gas exchange measurements. Patients underwent a 12-week supervised exercise program including an isoenergetic aerobic periodized training and a similar resistance training program, 3 times/week. Weekly energy expenditure was constantly increased in the LP group for the aerobic training, while it was deeply increased and intercepted with a recovery week each fourth week in the NLP group. Peak oxygen uptake (peak V̇O2), oxygen uptake efficiency slope, ventilatory efficiency slope (V̇E/V̇CO2 slope), V̇O2 at the first (VT1) and second (VT2) ventilatory thresholds, and oxygen pulse (O2 pulse) were measured. Responders were determined according the median value of the Δpeak V̇O2 (mL.min−1.kg−1). Results We found similar improvement for peak V̇O2 (LP: +8.1%, NLP: +5.3%, interaction: p = 0.37; time: p < 0.001) and for oxygen uptake efficiency slope, VT1, VT2 and O2 pulse in both groups (interaction: p > 0.05; time: p < 0.05) with a greater effect size in the LP group. The proportion of non-, low and high responders was similar between groups ( p = 0.29). Conclusion In contrast to the athletes, more variation (NLP) does not seem necessary for greater cardiopulmonary adaptations in coronary heart disease patients.

Objective:Linear aerobic training periodisation (LP) is recommended in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). However, the effects of training periodisation on right heart mechanics in CHD patients have never been examined. This study aimed to explore the effects of LP and non-linear periodisation (NLP) on right heart mechanics. Methods: We prospectively randomised CHD patients to 12 weeks aerobic training with LP or NLP. Whereas there was a weekly increase in energy expenditure with LP, there was a steeper increase during the first 3 weeks followed by a decrease the fourth week with NLP. Echocardiography at baseline and after the training period was performed to assess right ventricular free wall (RVFW) and right atrial strain. Results: Thirty CHD patients were included (NLP, n=16; LP, n=14). Traditional right and left heart parameters showed no significant time effect. There was a decrease of RVFW strain with time in both groups (+1.3±0.9% with NLP, and +1.5±0.8% with LP; p=0.033). Mid-ventricular RVFW strain changed significantly with time (+2.0±1.3% with NLP, and from +2.3±1.2% with LP; p=0.025). There was no time effect on right atrial strain. Conclusions: In stable CHD patients, LP and NLP resulted in right ventricular strain decrements with a segment-specific pattern. This study was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (identifier number: NCT03414996). Novelty: • In stable coronary heart disease patients, both linear and non-linear aerobic training periodisation programs result in right ventricular strain decrements with time, particularly in the mid-ventricular segment • Traditional right and left heart parameters, and right atrial strain showed no significant time effect in both 12 weeks aerobic training periodisation programs
