Key result
Supervised aerobic group training significantly increased exercise tolerance (from 103 to 120 W, P<0.001) and daytime heart rate variability in elderly patients following an acute coronary event.
Why the study?
Does a 3-month supervised aerobic group training program improve exercise capacity and heart rate variability in elderly patients recovering from an acute coronary event?

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports supervised aerobic training in elderly post-ACS rehab; confirms capacity gains and extends evidence to autonomic markers.
Agneta Ståhle (1999) conducted an RCT in Recent acute coronary event (acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina) (n=65). Supervised outpatient aerobic group training vs. Control group was evaluated on Exercise tolerance (Watts) (p=<0.001). Supervised aerobic group training significantly increased exercise tolerance (from 103 to 120 W, P<0.001) and daytime heart rate variability in elderly patients following an acute coronary event.
