Abstract
The health benefits of regular exercise are well-known, and an association between exercise and reduced risk of coronary heart disease has been demonstrated.1-4 Proposed beneficial effects of physical activity in reducing cardiac mortality include metabolic influences on risk factors, hematologic variables, direct effects on the myocardium, and indirect effects on mortality risk.5,6Keywords
