  • Title: [Rehabilitation after myocardial infarct. Autogenic training in the ambulatory coronary-sports group].
    Author: Simma L, Benzer W.
    Journal: Wien Med Wochenschr; 1985 Nov 15; 135(21):527-31. PubMed ID: 4082604.
    Abstract:
    19 patients after myocardial infarction were examined in an out-patient coronary sport group setting. One group did sport and AT (Autogenic Training), one group only sport. 7 patients, all belonging to the sport group without AT left the coronary sport group early: a clear indication of the motivating function of AT. Furthermore, the results showed that the "coronary-A-behaviour" (infarction prone behaviour) was less pronounced after therapy, and in particular in the AT plus sport patients more distinctly than in the purely sport patients. Therefore a protective effect of the AT against myocardial infarction was observed. It seems to help the patients to a better insight into behaviour and it also seems to favour their motivation for active prophylactic measures.
