    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: 302 male myocardial infarction patients were divided into 4 groups according to their symptom-limited physical working capacity and examined during bicycle ergometer training. Lactic acid and heart rate during training were measured. RESULTS: Arterial lactic acid and training heart rate decreased proportionally with the reduction of the maximal symptom-limited working capacity. Arterial lactic acid levels in 4 training groups of 100, 75, 50 and 25 watts were 2.23 (2.56) mmol/l, 1.87 (2.32) mmol/l, 1.58 (1.73) mmol/l and 1.20 (1.11) mmol/l, respectively, p less than 0.001 (in bracket = with beta blocker). Decrease in arterial lactic acid levels according to the reduction of working capacity corresponded to a decrease of training heart rate. In patients with beta blocker therapy results were less pronounced. Intensity of training corresponded to about 80% of VO2 measured as maximal symptom-limited physical working capacity. Training heart rate corresponded to about 85% of maximal heart rate as measured at symptom-limited physical working capacity. The so-called fixed anaerobic threshold of 4 mmol/l lactic acid was not reached by patients with myocardial infarction up to a training intensity of 100 watts (approximately 1.3 watts/kg). From this study it can be concluded that fixed anaerobic threshold and lactic acid are of secondary importance in determining the intensity of endurance training in patients with myocardial infarction.
