Decision to leave the hospital
In nineteen ninety-two, Amosov felt inevitable weakness beginning to haunt him. This is precisely what caused the decision to engage in surgical practice. The doctor worried not for himself, but for the patients, as he was afraid to harm them. He still continues to play sports, namely running and exercises with dumbbells. In addition, it was decided to increase the load several times. The doctor believed that during sports, you need to bring the pulse to no less than one hundred and forty beats per minute, otherwise any exercise loses its meaning.
Amosov experiment
At the end of his life, the surgeon decided to conduct an experiment on rejuvenation with his body. Each morning, he jogged five kilometers, after which he conducted two sessions of gymnastics, each of which lasted about an hour. Two thousand five hundred movements with dumbbells daily - the key to a strong spine and all joints - considered Nikolai Amosov. Photos of the famous surgeon can be seen in many sources. To work out all the exercises, the author of the experiment had to spend about two months.

During the experiment, Nikolai Mikhailovich ate more foods, but his weight did not change. The muscles got stronger, and the layer of subcutaneous fat contracted. The charming condition of life is every second breath control.
The experiment lasted more than four years. Amosov himself argued that there is progress: muscles have become more trained, organs and joints become more resilient. But the aging process itself could not be slowed down. Of course, such an insignificant period of the experiment does not give the right to judge more accurate results.

He lived eighty-nine years and proved that with the help of physical exercises a person can not only extend his youth and delay old age, but also recover from heart disease.

The surgeon himself believed that if it were not for heart disease, he would have lived much more. He was buried at the Baykovsky cemetery in Kiev.
