Assess students' ability to evaluate the comparative effectiveness, safety, and ethical considerations of high‑intensity interval training (HIIT) versus moderate‑intensity continuous training (MICT) in cardiac rehabilitation for middle‑aged adults with coronary artery disease, including critical appraisal of clinical outcomes (e.g., VO2max, functional capacity, rehospitalization, mortality), adverse events and risk stratification, adherence and feasibility, study quality and bias, and ethical issues (informed consent, autonomy, equity, and resource allocation), culminating in an evidence‑based recommendation for individualized program design.
