Regular physical activity causes many positive effects on the cardiovascular system and improves cardiorespiratory fitness. Long term exercise leads to physiologic remodeling of the heart, including adaptive molecular and cellular reprogramming, that have cardioprotective effect. Aerobic physical activity, the most studied modality with beneficial dose-response effect on prognosis, is recommended for all healthy adults, subjects with coronary risk factors and patients with chronic cardiac diseases. To check cardiorespiratory fitness is recommended to carry out cardiopulmonary exercise testing with measuring VO2max for risk assessment, exercise prescription, physical activity counseling and improving patient management.
