Exercise-related OHCA has a low incidence, particularly in the young. Cardiac arrests occurring during or shortly after exercise carry a markedly better prognosis than non-exercise-related arrests in persons >35 years. This study establishes the favourable outcome of exercise-related OHCA and should have direct implications for public health programs to prevent exercise-related sudden death.

Background-There have been few studies on the effectiveness of bystander automated external defibrillator (AED) use in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
