Abstract

Today, physical activity is seen as a behavior that generally has beneficial effects on exercise capacity and many of the physiologic processes involved in the development of, as well as, primary prevention of coronary artery disease. Current public health recommendations state that all people over 2 years of age should accumulate 30 min of moderate-intensity endurance-type physical activity on most (preferably all) days of the week (1). Additionally, the American College of Sports Medicine recommends that at least two sessions each week incorporate resistance or strength training involving the major muscle groups (2). For the past 25 years, exercise has also been recommended for patients with heart disease.
