ABSTRACT
In the current report, a home-based resistive exercise training program was designed for an older woman with coronary artery disease and chronic heart failure, who was unable to participate in a center-based program. With intermittent on-site instruction, the patient was able to learn and perform the designed exercise program. After 6 months of exercise, muscle strength (handgrip and leg extension) and lean body mass were increased, and indicators of physical functional performance were improved. We conclude that a home resistive-based exercise program, with intermittent on-site exercise counseling, may be an effective method for physical training in older coronary patients unable to travel to a rehabilitation center. Further study of this intervention in a controlled clinical trial appears warranted.
