Abstract
A coronary prevention program provides an 8 yr record of experience in exercise stress testing and exercise prescription with asymptomatic, sedentary adults. An individually prescribed exercise training plan coupled with preventive health education typically leads to improved cardiovascular fitness and to a favorable modification of coronary risk factors. This approach to cardiorespiratory health and fitness evaluation in the apparently normal population is described.
