Abstract
High intensity intermittent exercise may provide an alternative means of exercise
training with greater health benefits than the lower exercise doses used in current
practice, yet definitive guidelines for intermittent exercise are lacking. This thesis
examines the methodology for intermittent exercise prescription, and assesses the
efficacy of an intermittent exercise training intervention for chronic heart failure
patients (CHF), thus providing a novel application in UK cardiac rehabilitation
programmes.
