Context: It is known that the increase in chronological age itself is a serious risk factor for the development
of cardiovascular disease, especially in men. In men over the age of 50 who have several risk factors for
cardiovascular disease, the risk of starting coronary heart disease or hypertension is very high. Therefore, it
becomes necessary to develop affordable and safe programs to minimize this danger, based on the physical
recovery of men older than 50 years, through the use of dosed and acceptable physical activity complexes for
this age. Their effectiveness will be based on the possibilities of regular physical exertion in terms of toning
up the cardiovascular system, enhancing metabolism and increasing the general endurance of the body.
The study showed that the use of a set of physical activities for 1 year, including classes on the simulators
“SPIRIT Medical Systems MU100 vertical ergometer” and “Finnlo”, with the addition of classes at “Finnlo
MAXIMUM-S” from the second half of the year provides a more pronounced overall health the effect and
greater increase in the level of physical fitness than the annual physical activity, including classes on the
“Finnlo MAXIMUM-S elliptic” trainers with the addition of physical training in the second half of the year
on the “ SPIRIT Medical Systems MU100 vertical ergometer”.
