Combined aerobic and strength training for fitness outcomes in heart failure: meta-analysis and meta-regression

CONCLUSIONS: CT promotes increases on quadriceps muscle strength and aerobic capacity over control and provides additional gains on quadriceps muscle strength, having the same effects on VO2 peak compared to AT. A longer time of session is associated with greater benefits to aerobic capacity.Implications for rehabilitationCombining aerobic and strength training increases the functional capacity and quadriceps muscle strength in heart failure patients.Using longer sessions of training has a greater impact on aerobic capacity.PMID:33789068 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2021.1900411
