title: Strength Training Guidelines for Cardiac Patients.
abstract: In brief: Many cardiac patients would like to improve their muscle fitness through a program of strength training. Evidence now indicates that such a program, if conducted within a medically supervised rehabilitation program, is both safe and beneficial. This article provides practical guidelines for a strength training program, which may be modified to fit a particular program. The recommendations include criteria for admission, procedures for orientation and instruction, and techniques for supervision.
