[Efficacy of physical training and types of hemodynamics of essential hypertension patients and healthy subjects].

Physical stress tolerance and the effect of swimming-pool exercise were examined in patients with essential hypertension (EH) and normal untrained subjects with respect to their hemodynamic types. Threshold load capacity at bicycle ergometry and the amount of swimming-pool exercise were lower in EH patients and normal individuals with hypokinetic circulation, as compared to other hemodynamic types. Insufficient dilatation of the precapillary channel during exercise may be implicated here. In patients with stable EH and hypokinetic hemodynamics, exercise should be less intensive.
