This project is specifically designed to address questions regarding the efficacy of cardiac rehabilitation in the UK by investigating the relationship between exercise prescription methods and patient outcomes. Candidates will work directly with patients in the Leeds area, employing quantitative experimental methods to analyze how exercise intensity and programme fidelity influence aerobic fitness, cardiovascular efficiency, and quality of life. By joining this programme, you will be part of a vibrant research culture focused on achieving impact beyond academia, collaborating with experts dedicated to improving health outcomes for those living with coronary heart disease.

Research Focus: Cardiac Rehabilitation Efficacy

The programme centers on the critical evaluation of long-term maintenance programmes for patients with coronary heart disease. You will investigate whether current exercise prescription practices—often based on generic calculations rather than individualized exercise testing—impact the success of rehabilitation. This research aims to provide actionable data that could inform future large-scale interventions in cardiac care.
