Abstract

cardiovascular rehabilitation is a universally accepted part of complex therapy in patients with coronary artery diseases (8). it is perceived as a process helping the patients with cardiovascular diseases in maintaining optimum physical, mental, working and emotional condition. it increases physical fitness, improves quality of life (11, 19, 23) and reduces cardiovascular mortality (25, 26). Dynamic endurance aerobic activities (walking, biking, jogging, swimming, etc.) are the basis of cardiovascular rehabilitation program (2, 3, 4, 6, 16, 24, 27, 28). As a certain level of muscle strength that can be decreased in patients with ischemic heart disease (2, 18) is necessary for a number of working and recreational activities, usefulness of resistance training as an additional component of rehabilitation programs for cardiac patients was considered (2). As to cardiovascular safety of resistance training, it was proved that resistance exercises are a safe part of cardiovascular rehabilitation (1, 8, 10, 12, 20, 21, 29).
