Comparisons were made between a group of men with coronary heart disease who were participants in an exercise rehabilitation program (trained CHD's) and a group of healthy, asymptomatic, and sedentary individuals (HI's).
Nine male trained CHD's and 10 male HI's participated in the study, which was conducted during an 8-week period. Initially, all subjects performed a maximal stress test on a bicycle ergometer at 1576m. Maximal values from this test were utilized in …
