Cost unit of a cardiac sports group
The costs for participation in a cardiac sports group can be covered in various ways. Of course it is possible to finance the membership out of your own pocket. But this is not the usual way.
Normally you will get a prescription from a cardiologist (in rare cases also from a family doctor) for the cardiac group, because the participation serves the rehabilitation. The costs are then covered either by health or pension insurance. Which body is responsible for bearing the costs is different in each individual case. However, before participation is started, the financing should be clarified in consultation with the referring doctor.
Exercises of a heart sports group
The activities of a cardiac sports group are not aimed exclusively at fitness training, which is intended to strengthen the cardiovascular system. The range of exercises includes physical training, exercise and endurance as well as strengthening exercises and gymnastics. In addition, coordination and balance are to be trained to prevent falls in addition to cardiovascular training.
Various exercises for the own body perception also contribute to this. In small sports games, memory exercises can be built in parallel to physical training. Especially in the summer months, walks, hikes and Nordic Walking are popular. Rehabilitation is in the foreground with each exercise. Overstraining and overloading should be avoided.Since stress can also be a possible cause of many cardiovascular diseases, relaxation exercises are often performed.
Endurance training in heart sport groups
Many different exercises are suitable as endurance training. First and foremost, it is important to be physically active. With regard to your own heart disease, overloading should be avoided at all costs.
Endurance training is offered in different ways in heart sport groups. For example, endurance training on a stationary bike can improve endurance. Physical training is also possible on a treadmill.
Likewise, various short exercises can be combined in a circuit training to form an endurance exercise. Many sports games are associated with movement and small challenges. Endurance training is done automatically, while the concentration is mostly directed to the game itself.
Walks and Nordic walking are particularly suitable for endurance training in good weather. If there is a little more time, people also like to go hiking. Aerobic exercises or water gymnastics are also good for stamina.
Alternatively, there are trainings in which dance steps are learned. With a little practice, dancing can also strengthen endurance.
