    Abstract:
    It is described the behaviour of the performance capacity of the cardio-pulmonary system during aging. The maximal O2-uptake declines beyond the third decade of life. The average mas has lost 1/3-1/4 of his earlier maximal performance capacity with the 60 year of life, the woman ca. 1/4-1/5. The causes are named. It follows a description of the work reaction of the cardio-pulmonary system during dosed ergometer strain. The influence of an endurance training on the untrained persons of the 7, decade of life is qualitative the same as in the young person. That applies in particularly for the aerobic capacity and the maximal stroke volume. Optimum kinds of sports are endurance sports with a low value of the quotient: (Formula; see text).
