Aerobic interval training
The intervention will start between 7 and 21 days after heart valve surgery. While hospitalized the participants will perform supervised aerobic interval training comprised 4x4 minute, 3 times per week. Intensity will start at 60% of maximum heart rate in the first week, around 13-14 in Borg RPE-Scale. The workload will be gradually increased as the participant tolerance improves, but not above 85% of maximum heart rate or 16-17 in Borg RPE Scale.
