Despite the fact that the American Heart Association, American College of Cardiology,
and American College of Sports Medicine, among numerous leading medical organizations,
have emphasized physical inactivity (PI) and sedentary behavior (SB) as major modifiable
risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), a sizable percentage of the population
in the United States, Canada, and worldwide still have low levels of physical activity
(PA) and high levels of PI/SB.

Recently, major efforts have been made to make health promotion a priority, including
promoting PA/exercise training to improve levels of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF)
in the United States and worldwide in the primary and secondary prevention of CVD.

Among patients with established CVD, especially coronary heart disease (CHD), but
also heart failure (HF) and even congenital heart disease, formal cardiac rehabilitation
and exercise training (CRET) programs have considerable evidence for improving CHD
risk factors, psychological risk factors, quality of life, and CRF levels, as well
as reducing major CVD morbidity and mortality.

- Long-term Enrollment in Cardiac Rehabilitation Benefits Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Skeletal Muscle Strength in Men With Cardiovascular DiseaseCanadian Journal of CardiologyVol. 35Issue 10
- PreviewDespite known associations between fitness and recurrent cardiovascular events, changes in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and muscle strength with long-term cardiac rehabilitation (CR) have not been extensively examined. The objectives of this study were to (1) examine changes in CRF and muscle strength associated with long-term CR program enrollment in men, and (2) compare these changes to previously published rates of decline (2.0% per year for CRF and 2.36% per year for muscle strength in healthy age-matched individuals).
