Abstract

Physical activity counselling and individually prescribed and supervised exercise training are core components of a comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program, The primary objective of an exercise-based training intervention in cardiac rehabilitation is to positively influence disease progression and prognosis and to improve symptom limited exercise tolerance and overall quality of life. Within a large meta-analysis exercise based cardiac rehabilitation have been shown to reduce overall and cardiovascular mortality rate as well as hospital admissions rate. The safety and efficiency of aerobic endurance and dynamic resistance exercise in to improve exercise capacity and quality of life in cardiac patients is well established and international guidelines recommend its implementation in cardiac rehabilitation programs. This chapter give detailed evidence based practical recommendation how to set up an effective and save exercise training in cardiac rehabilitation.
