In a prospective study 32 patients with condition after acute myocardial infarction in the rehabilitation phase II were observed concerning the metabolic parameters, beta-lipoproteins, cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, uric acid and lactate. At the beginning and at the end of the sports therapy the metabolic parameters were tested in rest as well as after exertion. The investigation led to the following results: 1. Increase of the physical efficiency from 134.0 to 142.0 Watt (non-significant); 2. the size of the biochemical parameters (beta-lipoproteins, cholesterol, uric acid, glucose) remained unchanged in the process of rehabilitation. 3. During the exertions themselves (hour of sports therapy, bicycle ergometer) in each case a non-significant increase of the beta-lipoproteins, the cholesterol and the values of uric acid appeared.
