[Exercise therapy in the ambulatory treatment of chronic ischemic heart disease].

In conducting physical exercises for persons with chronic ischemic heart disease in out-patient clinics, it is advisable to distribute these patients into groups according to their capacity for movement and the presence of clinically manifest concomitant diseases (hypertensive disease, osteochondrosis deformans of the spine). The program of the movement regimens for out-patient treatment must be planned with due consideration for the energy cost and energy level of the separate forms of remedial gymnastics, the time of day, and the day of the week. The proper training effect is achieved by the combined use of the separate forms of remedial gymnastics and exercises (walking and running) which improve the general endurance.
