Abstract
Men [65] who suffered at least 1 myocardial infarction 8 wk to 36 mo. earlier were randomly assigned to participate for at least 2 yr as control subjects or subjects in a prescribed, supervised exercise training program. Psychosocial results at baseline and at the 6th mo., 1 yr and 2 yr follow-ups are presented. With minimal exception, no differences were noted between the control and exercise groups at any of the testing periods. Several explanations for the lack of exercise-induced psychosocial benefit are provided.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
