Goal. Description of the influence of systematic phisical training (PT) on some indicators of physical performance (Fed) and the assessment of daily locomotor activity and psychological status of patients after myocardial infarction and were followed for 16 years. Material and methods. We observed 11 patients (9 men and 2 women) who after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have participated in a one-year rehabilitation program, the basis of which amounted to the controlled PT of medium intensity (50-60%). Subsequently, patients continued PT program in hospital and in the home environment (observation of patients was 16 years). Programs of systematic PT were performed in a hospital, carried out with a small break in 2014-2015. Patients are constantly trained (ie the period of continuous PT amounted to 2 years), while a program of home exercises, patients try to perform consistently. They all underwent clinical examination, had a load test performed on a cycle ergometer protocol submaximal loading, questionnaires were evaluated by physical activity, level of subjective control, anxiety and depression and adherence to therapy estimated. Results. Blood pressure (BP) in patients were stable: in 2014 (prior to the beginning of organized PT) systolic blood pressure (SBP) was 127.9±15.2 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) - 74±6.3 mm Hg. In 2 years (2015) after the resumption of organized PT SBP decreased slightly to 121.2±7.0 mm Hg (p0.05), ie, 16 years. In 2015, when compared with the 1999 peak of PE decreased SBP by 4.6% (p
