Physical activities are a natural necessity and \u2014 just as targeted training \u2014 result in lower cardiovascular and overall mortality of cardiac patients, while also improving these patients’ prognosis, quality of life, and physical performance. They can therefore be considered an independent therapeutic method that is equal to therapy approaches based on medication, intervention, and surgery and can supplement them in a meaningful way.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sports therapy and physical education measures help patients acquire individual resources and abilities and have the potential to contribute to a change in exercise-related lifestyle. According to current insights, a beneficial exercise and training program for cardiac patients should include endurance and strength training.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The following training recommendations for cardiac patients are intended to allow for therapeutically supported, dosed, controlled, and hence, successful management of training measures for people with cardiovascular diseases.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Aspects of Physical Education Activities\u200b<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It should be clearly emphasised that sports therapy, and especially physical education activities, cannot simply consist of establishing training parameters during the patient’s rehabilitation phases 1 and 2. Rather, the core task of physical education is to motivate inactive and ill people to exercise in a regular and healthy way for the long term.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Consequently, physical educators, who must consult with physicians and base their programs on diagnostic results, are much more than simple \u201cexercise managers” within the scope of their activities. They play an essential role as advisors and accompany their patients throughout a long-term recovery process. Accordingly, this process is not only determined by curative measures, but also by gradually developing a focus on (secondary) prevention and permanent well-being during the course of the patient’s treatment.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The didactic and methodological decisions with regard to physical exertion, selection of exercises, organisational forms etc. as well as communication and guidance therefore must, in addition to the physical condition of patients, take into account their psychological condition, mental resilience, social circumstances, personal motivation, attitudes, and intentions. After all, the demanding purpose of the treatment is to initiate behaviour change or, at least, to achieve behavioural modifications.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

This can only be successful with the identification and consideration of as many behaviour-relevant factors and determinants as possible. A biography-based, multidisciplinary exercise history can provide valuable insights for this purpose. Such a patient history not only offers information about the living and working conditions of the patient (how can sport\/exercise be integrated into the existing daily schedule?), but also clarifies the availability of exercise groups (how do I address situations in which no cardiac rehabilitation group is available in a radius of 20 km?) and sheds light on the opportunities and risks of the patient’s social environment (family, friends, coworkers).<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

It is helpful for sports therapy to keep the entire personality of a patient in mind in order to employ suitable impulses \u2014 including appropriate training management \u2014 to strengthen personal resources and abilities. Such an approach empowers patients to take responsibility for the long-term design of their healthy activities. The section below provides an overview of the therapy components endurance and strength training.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u00a0<\/p>

The following types of endurance sport can generally be recommended. The selection should always keep individual circumstances (motivation, primary illnesses, body weight, practical aspects etc.) as well as the cardiovascular training effect and controllability in mind:<\/p>
