[Effect of a short course of physical training on the mental status of post-myocardial infarct patients].
The psychological effect of short exercise on a bicycle trainer (30 sessions over 10 weeks) was assessed in 20 postmyocardial infarction patients, while spontaneous mental changes were assessed in 21 untrained controls. Exercise was started 2 to 2.5 months after the attack. Mental states were assessed by the brief multifactorial personality assessment questionary (the BMPAQ test) and the neuroticism scale (NS). Physical exercise contributed to a more rapid psychological rehabilitation, as evidenced by the BMPAQ and NS testing. The mentality of the control patients improved less rapidly as shown by the BMPAQ test, while their NS parameters remained unchanged. Mental parameters of trained and untrained patients were basically similar within 12 months, after myocardial infarction as evidenced by the BMPAQ test.
