摘要：Our research included 60 male subjects aged 50 to 60, 30 of which made up the experimental group, and the remaining 30 made up the control group. We studied the effects of a physical activity program on the changes in volume and the subcutaneous fatty tissue of individuals who had suffered myocardial infarctions (MI). The experimental physical activity program was realized over a period of 21 days, and the activities were divided into three parts: 1) gymnastics exercises, 2) walking along health trails and 3) riding on a bicycle ergometer. The overall duration of each daily exercise session was 45 minutes at the beginning and 60 minutes at the end of the program. Ten variables were included in the research, which covered the area of voluminosity and subcutaneous fatty tissue. We calculated the basic descriptive parameters, and in order to determine the differences between the groups at the initial and final measuring and the differences between the initial and final measuring of each group, we used the t-test. We used a multivaraite and univariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA/ANCOVA) to determine the actual effects of the physical activity. The level of statistical significance was 0.05. All of the statistical analyses were calculated with the help of the Statistica 6.0 statistics package. The results from the final measuring have indicated that the realized physical acitivity program had a positive effect on the changes in the volume and subcutaneous fatty tissue of the subjects in the experimental group, or in other words, that it led to changes in body mass (р= .000), average thorax volume (р= .003), abdomen volume (р= .000), thigh volume (р= .021), abdominal skin folds (р= .032) and thigh skin folds (р= .003). Our research confirmed the positive effects of the program of physical activity on changes in volume and subcutaneous fatty tissue in the sense that it led to their decrease among people who had suffered myocardial infarctions.
