Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: •Age > 65; •Willingness to participate with written consent. •Sufficient peripheral blood flow to deliver a pulseoximetry signal. •Physical and mental capability to perform an Ergospirometry test. (Minimum : 25Watt for 8 minutes) •Minimum Heart Rate and systolic blood pressure adaption of 20% of the resting pulse.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: •Final (palliative) status of any disease. •High risk for Cardiac events or Stroke •Cognitive Impairment •Insufficient peripheral blood flow for a reasonable pulseoximetry signal. •Unwillingness to sign the written consent. •Incapability to perform an Ergospirometry test. •Such high dosage of heart and blood circuit medication (ß-Blocker, Amyodaron) that the minimum requirements of adaption to physical stress and hypoxia are not fulfilled.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The data will be collected at the first day of accomodation in the Hospital via Ergospirometry and Echokardiography. Then each Patient will have to perform 7 trainings each second day. The final test will be after 3 weeks via Ergospirometry and Echokardiography. Main Parameter: Vo2peak

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Pretest at first day of accomodation: Ecg, Workload, Weight, Bloodpreasure, Vo2 max, oxigensaturation, Puls, Diagnosis Posttest after 3 Weeks: Ecg, Workload, Weight, Bloodpreasure, Vo2 max, oxigensaturation, Puls, Diagnosis
