Which exercise category lists coronary artery disease as an example?

• A. Aerobic exercise
• B. High intensity interval training
• C. Combined aerobic and resistance exercise
• D. Home-based exercises

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is that some health conditions are best addressed with exercise programs that combine different types of activity. Coronary artery disease is a condition commonly managed with a mix of aerobic exercise and resistance training because it benefits both cardiovascular endurance and muscle strength. Aerobic work improves heart and lung function and helps with circulation, while resistance training builds muscle, supports functional capacity, and improves metabolic health. Using them together provides a more comprehensive rehab approach for CAD than using just one type alone.

That’s why the category that lists coronary artery disease as an example is the combined aerobic and resistance exercise category. The other options describe either where the exercise is done (home-based) or a single mode or intensity (aerobic alone or high-intensity interval training), which don’t as clearly capture the combined approach typically recommended for CAD.
