ABSTRACT
In 45 patients with myocardial infarction in the rehabilitative period in health resort centers, bicycle ergometric tests with forced routine continuously gradually increasing exercise or without forced graded exercise in accordance with the "free option" motor motivation test were performed at the beginning and at the end of treatment. The work performed at the beginning and at the end of treatment. The work performed with free option is characterized by substantial differences in its volume, duration, intensity, and rate. Free option exercise is submaximal, close to tolerant, but simultaneously shows lower values in heart rates, systolic blood pressure, "double product" and cost-effective index. The free option exercise test is a more sensitive indicator of alterations in the status of a patient with myocardial infarction during health resort rehabilitation.
