Corrigendum to "Practitioner guidance for implementing low-volume high intensity interval training in people with coronary artery disease" [Physiotherapy 128 (2025) 101777].

OBJECTIVE

High intensity interval training (HIIT) is recognised within many international cardiac rehabilitation guidelines. In the United Kingdom, however, similar guidance does not exist; moderate intensity training regimens have traditionally been advocated. The aim is to provide a pragmatic technical report for practitioners working in CR to implement low-volume HIIT programmes for people with coronary artery disease (CAD).

METHODS

We characterised the acute physiological response to low-volume HIIT and outlined patient inclusion and exclusion criteria, along with clinical and safety considerations. Additionally, we explored its practical implications to facilitate implementation in clinical practice. A detailed methodology for the 10 × 1-min low-volume HIIT model is provided, including exercise training progression criteria

RESULTS

Key considerations for familiarisation, supervision, prescription, monitoring, recording, and reporting are discussed, underpinned by an overview of the acute physiological response to the training modality.

CONCLUSIONS

We anticipate that this pragmatic evidence-based technical report will support practitioners in implementing low-volume HIIT in routine clinical practice, thus, allowing it to be offered as standard care alongside more traditional moderate intensity exercise training programmes.
