Effect of Moderate Intensity of Aerobic Exercise Programme on Exercise Tolerance Capacity of Stable Angina Patients

The purpose of this study was to observe the effect of moderate intensity of aerobic exercise programme on exercise tolerance capacity of stable angina patients. Sixty male patients of stable angina were recruited as subjects and their age ranged from 40-60 years, further they were divided equally into experimental group and control group. Experimental group underwent a six weeks moderate intensity aerobic exercise programme while the control group was lead a routine sedentary life style for six weeks. Exercise tolerance capacity was measured by using Borg‘s scale in both the groups on the first day and after every 2 weeks. It was found that at the end of six weeks of aerobic programme there was an increase in the exercise tolerance capacity of the stable angina patients of the experimental group than control group. It is concluded that six weeks moderate intensity aerobic exercise programme of cardiac rehabilitation for the patients of stable angina is a short time period for peripheral adaptation than the central adaptations.
