[The preventive effect of training with an emphasis on endurance of the cardiovascular system in adolescents].

An estimated 15% of adolescents in the G.D.R. suffer from hypertensive blood pressure regulations. Physical exercise with its numerous phenomena of central and peripheral adaptation will result in a general blood pressure drop. Because the blood pressure at rest may be highly variable, ergometric step tests are of special importance for the diagnosis of hypertension. Ranges of reference values of systolic and diastolic blood pressure have been established for untrained female and male subjects aged 14 to 18 years. The effect of endurance training on the normo- and hypertensive blood pressure situation is demonstrated on the basis of a 2-year longitudinal study. Besides a general blood pressure drop an improvement of the cardiocirculatory performance capacity has been found. To prevent hypertension, early recognition and long-term, preventive measures in childhood and adolescents will be necessary. From the findings of the present study practical conclusions are derived.

[Sports in later life].

The author explains the physiological differences between a sedentary life-style and one where athletic activity plays a role. He goes on to give a brief outline of the inevitable biological processes associated with old age. Finally, he sets out the conditions for regular exercise in later life and lists the types of sport most suitable for this purpose.

[Physiologic aspects of exercise in elderly patients with ischemic heart disease].

Starting from the physiological involution processes and the pathophysiological disorders of the cardiological functions, performance-limiting factors have been worked out. Any physical conditioning taking the mentioned limiting factors into account may have a function-improving and performance-improving effect (extension of the performance amplitude, economization of master in loads, psychic stabilization, reduction of risk factors, etc.). In the planning and organization of physical conditioning specific methodical aspects for training have to be taken into account, for example, preferred endurance exercises (running, walking, swimming, etc.), physiological design of the training hours, individual level of intensity, and an indication-related planning of the extent of training. Furthermore, also contra-indication have to be observed which may restrict exercise tolerance (stage of performance, regulation of blood pressure, dysrhythmia, etc.).
