[Physical exercise for the enhancement of general fitness and the reduction of risk factors in the elderly].
203 patients with an average age of 52.1 having been sent to undergo a 4-week course of cardiovascular treatment, took daily physical exercise at low intensity, the effects of which on parameters of the cardiovascular system and on the metabolism are shown. VO2 max in men was increased by 15.1%. Heart rate and blood pressure fell significantly. The reduction of the absolute values of serum lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides) and the arteriosclerosis indices LDL-C/HDL-C and Apo B/Apo A1 confirm that it is possible to reduce the cardiovascular hazard by physical exercises in elderly people, too.
