A nonsupervised home-training was programed for 10 chronic coronary patients, who had been trained for a long period of time under the supervised sportsrehabilitation with relatively good recovery. Home-training was composed of endurance-oriented light-loading sports, such as playing with balls, jog-walking, table-tennis, badminton, cycling, aerobic dancing, minitennis and stair climbing. The target heart rate was instructed to each patient and patients were encouraged to perform thirty minutes exercise, more than three times per week.
　The main exercise was walking in 9 cases with a lower heart rate than the target in a range of 60 to 90 beats per minute. The frequency of exercise was 4.9 times per week in an average. During this training periods, no cardiac events or complications directly related with exercise was observed, but there were significant reduction of exercise tolerance-time and the maximum heart rate on the treadmill tests. Psychological tests with STAI and MAS suggested that these patients did not have enough exercise-load in home-training under nonsupervision conditions, mainly because of anxiety.
