83 patients (men) with stable chronic coronary disease (mean age 62 ± 9 years, mean body weight 86± 11 kg, mean height 177 ± 6 cm, mean ejection fraction of left ventricle 47± 8%) were examined before and aft er three months lasting aerobic training combined with stregth components . Before the training period symptom-limited spiroergometry was provided. Spiroergometry was applied for the evaluation of anaerobic threshold to decide on the aerobic training intensity. Load intensity for the strength training phase was determined by the method of 1-RM (30-60%). Th e training (exercise unit) was performed three times a week. Th e impact on quality of life was measured using SAQ (Th e Seattle Angina Questionnaire). Th e all 5 SAQ dimensions were signifi cantly better aft er the training. Physical limitations (79,7 ± 19,0 vs. 84,9 ± 16,4*) stability of symptoms (78,2 ± 19,1 vs. 85,6 ± 16,1*) frequency of symptoms (83,5 ± 15,6 vs. 88,2 ± 14,5**), treatment satisfaction (87,8 ± 14,6 vs. 92,9 ± 11,5*), and disease perception (67,2 ± 19,7 vs. 73,8 ± 19,5**). Peak exercise oxygen uptake (VO2peak ) increased from 18,6 ± 3,1 to 19,8 ± 4,0** ml. kg-1.min-1 (*P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, Wilcoxon).
