Two months after myocardial infarction, 30 patients were subjected to a 10-week physical training course. Following the training, their threshold capacity grew by 46%. The effect of training (increased threshold capacity, reduced double product at submaximum effort) persisted for 1 year after myocardial infarction. In 28 control-group patients, changes of threshold capacity and double product at submaximum effort were not significant over the first post-infarction year. A relatively early post-infarction physical training is not associated with complications and largely speeds up physical rehabilitation.
