Abstract

Several studies are reviewed that examine the role of exercise in men at work and in men at leisure activity and sports play. All show that adequate exercise reduces the risk of coronary heart disease. Many recent investigations have undertaken the study of the various mechanisms by which physical activity produces these effects.
