The aim of this study was to assess the protective effect of exercise endurance training on orthostatic symptoms and to examine its usefulness in the treatment of orthostatic intolerance. 2768 military recruits were screened for orthostatic intolerance by questionnaire. Tilt- table testing identified 36 cases of orthostatic intolerance out of the 2768 soldiers. Subsequently, 31 of these subjects with orthostatic intolerance entered a randomized, controlled trial. The patients were allocated randomly to either a '' training'' ( 3 months jogging) or a '' control'' group. The influence of exercise training on orthostatic intolerance was assessed by determination of questionnaire scores and tilt- table testing before and after intervention. After training, only 6 individuals of 16 still had orthostatic intolerance compared with 10 of 11 in the control group. The Fisher exact test showed a highly significant difference in diagnosis between the 2 groups ( P = 0.008) at the end of the study. Analysis of the questionnaire- score showed significant interaction between time and group ( P = 0.001). Langue : ANGLAIS Tiré à part : OUI |
