Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a common and debilitating condition characterized by reduced
exercise tolerance. While exercise training was once thought to be contraindicated for …

Prior exercise research and the recently completed HF-ACTION (Heart Failure and A
Controlled Trial Investigating Outcomes of Exercise Training) trial indicate that regular …

Clinical Exercise Physiology, Fifth Edition With HKPropel Access, is a comprehensive guide
to the clinical aspects of exercise physiology, investigating 24 chronic diseases and …

BACKGROUND: The ventilatory threshold (VT) is usually determined by visual assessment
of the point where the rate of elimination of carbon dioxide (VCO2) increases nonlinearly …

In chronic heart failure patients, the increase of peak VO 2 observed after a period of aerobic
training is currently attributed more to peripheral (skeletal muscle) than central (heart) …

The advent of microprocessed “metabolic carts” and rapidly incremental protocols greatly
expanded the clinical applications of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). The …

Reduction in aerobic capacity, best quantified by peak VO2, is a central feature of both
normative aging and chronic HF. Numerous observational studies over the past half-century …

This article discusses the effects of training in cardiac rehabilitation and describes the
influence of various training modalities on the evolution of exercise capacity in cardiac …

The volume of literature attesting to the clinical benefits of exercise training in patients with
stable chronic heart failure (CHF) is substantial. Training can improve symptoms and …

Background This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to explore in heart failure (HF)
patients with reduced ejection fraction (EF) undergoing exercise-based cardiac …
