Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is an important component in the continuum of care for patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD), providing a multidisciplinary education and Exercise training (ET) to improve functional capacity (FC), recovery and psychological well-being and reduce morbidity and mortality. Today, the beneficial effects of ET and exercise-based CR are well recognized, but it remains largely unclear which characteristics of ET (frequency, intensity, duration, mode, and volume (dose: intensity x duration) are most effective. The session deals with the characteristics of ET in CR of special groups of patients (patients with CVD and Frailty, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). We need to better understand whether exercise- based CR may change the course and the prognosis of special groups patients with CVD. The role of Exercise training in the prevention and control of Frailty will be discussed, focusing also on the limiting factors that must be taken into account when prescribing physical activity. We need to better understand whether ET can change the course and prognosis of Frailty in cardiovascular patients.
