About this course
Escalating numbers of adults have now embraced the notion that "more exercise is invariably better". However, vigorous exercise, particularly when performed by inactive, unfit individuals can trigger acute cardiac events. Accelerated coronary artery calcification, exercise-induced cardiac biomarker release, atrial fibrillation and higher rates of cardiac events have also now been reported in the most active population cohorts. Moreover, concern regarding the safety of HIIT in clients with known or suspected CHD suggest that it should not be recommended, especially in unsupervised, non-medical settings. The practical implications of these data for health-fitness professionals, and the clients they serve, will be discussed.
