High-intensity interval training to improve cardiorespiratory fitness in a patient with frailty and multimorbidity: A case report
Personalized HIIT improved exercise duration and work rate and was associated with positive postoperative outcomes in this patient with frailty and multimorbidity. A unique feature of this case was the unexpected loss of training progress and <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mover><mml:mi>V</mml:mi><mml:mo>˙</mml:mo></mml:mover></mml:math>O<sub>2peak</sub> deterioration post-HIIT, which prompted further clinical investigations. These identified a worsening anemia and resulted in important changes in both the preoperative and intraoperative treatment.
