Studies were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data synthesis was performed with R software version 4.0.1. Eight studies met the study criteria, including 387 patients. Compared to the control group [moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) and\/or routine physical activity], HIIT significantly improved peak oxygen uptake (peak VO2) [mean difference = 3.83\u2009mL\/kg\/min, 95% confidence interval (CI) (3.25, 4.41), P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.01]. No significant difference in systolic and diastolic blood pressures, peak and resting heart rate, left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular end-diastolic volume, and the quality of life was found between HIIT group and control group. The duration of follow-up ranged from 6 to 12 weeks. The incidence of adverse events was similar between groups [risk difference = 0.01, 95% CI (-0.02, 0.04), P\u2009=\u20090.53].<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n
