title: [Sports and coronary heart disease].
abstract: The effectivity of an endurance physical training must not be ignored any longer as it is known that physical activity as well in the job as in the leisure time diminishes the risk of coronary artery disease and their consequences. The training should be put through according to the vigorous exercise training with 70 to 80% of the maximal work load in a dynamic work continuously for at least 10 minutes. The optimum duration appears to be about 30 to 40 minutes a day, repeated 3 to 4 times weekly. The best sports for coronary patients are jogging, cycling or bicycle ergometry, country cross skiing, walking in the mountains as well as at diminished performance capacity, gymnastic, walking, golf and with some restrictions swimming.
