The role of physical activity in cardiovascular health has received increasing atten tion in recent years. A large number of reports have indicated that populations or individuals with high levels of physical activity tend to have a lower prevalence of symptomatic coronary artery disease and lesser death rates from cardiovascular diseases (69, 139). Although no single report provides complete proof that physical activity has a protective effect, the evidence heavily favors that conclusion. The…

The percept ion exists that there are many more vigorous exercisers now than there were 5 20 years ago, but what may be happening is a progression of exercise from individuals' doing some form of moderate exercise to the same individuals' do ing more strenuous exercise.

Evidence suggests that although there has been an increase in leisure-time physical activity by American adults during the 1970s and 1980s, the rate of increase has recently declined, and the role of physical activity in preventing CHD in particular is of major public health importance.

It is recognized that in elderly people the balance shifts; muscle performance, changes in blood distribution and peripheral microvascular capacity become ever more important determinants of exercise performance and should command increasing research interest.

A reduction of the cardiac vagal tone and consequently a diminished HR variability inrest, independently of the protocol of measurement used, is related to an autonomic dysfunction, chronic-degenera-tive diseases and increased mortality risk.

It is shown that moderate aerobic exercise training has no effect on resting state cardiovascular indices of PEP and LF BPV, indicating that in healthy, young adults, the cardioprotective effects of exercise training are unlikely to be mediated by changes in resting sympathetic activity.

It is concluded that aside from subjective enhancement of well-being, a well-planned physical training program for middle-aged men can develop beneficial economy and efficiency of myocardial function and the oxygen transport system.

The effects of a 15-week quantitated training program were evaluated in nine men, 32 to 59 years old, who had been blind for 10 years or more but were otherwise in good health and who discontinued training after 15 weeks.

In a group of 68 middle-aged sedentary men participating for 2 months in hard physical training, 5 were initially advised against participation for medical reasons; 54 subjects completed the training program and a significant reduction of the iron and cholesterol levels in the serum occurred.

It is suggested that endurance training alters both the absolute and relative left ventricular mass and the response of the cardiovascular system to static exercise, as static exercise training increases the absolute but not the relative left Ventricular mass.

The data suggest that the heart from an exercised animal is better able to tolerate increases in afterload and hypoxia and can respond with compensatory myocardial hypertrophy more rapidly than the heart of a sedentary animal.
