Effects of physical training on maximal exercise capacity were noted in both exercise training groups. However, improvement in cardiac function (such as stroke volume), both at rest and during exercise, was noted only in the high-intensity training group. Our results suggest that relatively high-intensity training may improve exercise capacity and cardiac function of patients with prior myocardial infarction.
