Abstract
Introduction Since the early days of cardiac rehabilitation (CR), exercise has been the predominant component of structured programmes. Over the past years, CR units have advanced towards comprehensive secondary prevention institutions, and in the same way, the role of exercise after a heart attack has changed. Whereas initially, the main emphasis was put on supervised familiarization of daily activities and the resumption of strenuous physical activity further during the course of the programme, today CR programmes aim to ensure an enjoyable exercise experience and to use exercise as a motivator of lifestyle changes. At any time, the role of exercise and accordingly exercise prescription, was to improve fitness and overall health in a safe manner.
