The article presents research data on the influence of regular physical training on the course of mild anxiety and depressive disorders against the background of chronic heart failure in patients of older age groups. The study involved 48 patients aged 62 to 84 years with mild anxiety and depressive disorders on the background of chronic heart failure. All patients were divided into two groups. Patients of the first (control) group (24 people) received traditional treatment of chronic heart failure in combination with psychotherapy for 8 weeks. Patients of the second group (24 people) received traditional treatment of chronic heart failure in combination with psychotherapy and a set of physical exercises for 8 weeks. As a result of the study, it was shown that the level of depression and anxiety in the second group decreased more than in the first group.
