Cardiovascular diseases are becoming more common, owing to the increasing number of patients with high body mass index (BMI). In addition these patients are often even <50 years old! This study gives information on the beneficial effect of training. On a long-term run, this not only reduces BMI but also may reduce the risk of cardiovascular death, probably due to beneficial effects on angiogenesis.
