Training after myocardial infarction: lack of long-term effects on physical capacity and psychological variables.
This study evaluated long-term effects of 12 weeks of supervised training , of at least 45 minutes duration with two sessions per week , on physical performance and  psychological well-being after myocardial infa rct ion ( MI ) . Sixty-nine patients were r and omized to either an exercise or a nonexercise group .  Maximum exercise capacity 6 weeks post-MI was inversely related to the acute peak aspartate aminotransferase values in serum , as an index of infa rct size . One year post-MI , the increase in level of fitness ( 10 % ) in the training group did not significantly exceed ( p = .10 ) that of the controls ( 2 % ) . No intergroup differences were registered in self-rated psychological well-being and physical scores or in the return to work rate . In the training group , but not in the controls , the change in perceived dyspnoea at leisure-time activities was positively related to the objective ly measured peak exercise capacity . We conclude that after MI only marginal improvements in physical performance are achieved 6 months after training is finished , with no long-term psychological benefits apparent versus a usual care program . The adaptive implication s of supervised conventional exercise programs post-MI are therefore question ed
