A chronotherapy exercise technique for treating a patient whose abnormal condition, regardless of its nature or origin, is reflected by a heart rate variability (HRV) that is reduced and deviates from an HRV reflecting a normal condition. In this treatment, the patient in an exercise session undergoes a series of exercise-relaxation cycles in which during each cycle the pulse rate of the patient rises and then falls to generate a heart wave. To enhance the efficacy of the treatment, the heart waves generated in the course of an exercise session are synchronized in time with an internal wave produced by a biological clock, this activity functioning to expand the range of the biological wave and inducing the HRV to approach an HRV, which for the patient being treated reflects a normal condition.

[ I claim:] [1.] A chronotherapy exercise technique for treating a patient having an abnormal condition reflected by a reduced heart rate variability which deviates from a heart rate variability reflecting a normal condition, the technique comprising the steps of:A. continuously monitoring the heart pulse rate of the patient in the course of an exercise session during which the patient undergoes a series of exercise-relaxation cycles, the patient in an exercise phase of each cycle expending a surge of energy causing the pulse rate to rise to a peak rate above a resting rate, the pulse rate in a relaxation phase swinging down from the peak rate to a rate below the resting rate to produce a pendulum effect causing the pulse rate to rise to a higher peak rate in a succeeding cycle, the rising and falling pulse rate in the course of each cycle generating a heart wave; andB. synchronizing the time during which heart waves are generated with a wave of an internal biological clock whereby with repeated exercise sessions, the heart rate variability is induced to approach said normal variability.
