[Cardiovascular events in people participating in jogging - results over 27 years]

The regulary participation in a jogging-group is a one possibility to do sports under professional surveillance with positive effects of the cardiovascular system. On the other side, the implications of doing sports on the risk of sudden death are debatable. The first jogging-groups were formed twenty-seven years ago in Darmstadt. There were only four serious cardiovascular events ( three deadly) in twenty-seven years. There are several groups for different trained persons, so it's possible to start at all stages of fitness. In addition there are no fees.
