Popis: Triangular and rectangular rehabilitation techniques were assessed by comparative exercise performance and respiratory evaluation in twenty six phase II post-myocardial infarction patients. Patients all performed a standard exercise test with measurement of VO2, before and after 40 rehabilitation sessions. Clinical, exercise and ventilatory parameters were identical in the two groups before rehabilitation (triangular--n = 13; rectangular--n = 13). Exercise capacity was increased by 18% and 19% respectively after rehabilitation. Maximum aerobic capacity nevertheless remained unchanged (27.6 +/- 7.1 before; 28.3 +/- 6.7 ml/kg/min after) in all patients. Analysis of variance failed to reveal superiority of one of the two rehabilitation techniques over the other.
