Brief summary
This is a substudy of Generation 100. In that study, 4000 healthy persons between 70 and 75 will be randomised to a moderate intensity training group, a high intensity training group or control group, with 3 years of exercise. The investigators will follow these persons and register all who develop atrial fibrillation during these 3 years, and at follow-up after ended intervention to see if there is differences in the number of persons who develop atrial fibrillation in the 3 groups.
