Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1) Patients aged 18 years and over 2) Patients with compensated heart failure (i) stable weight without increased diuretics for more than 1 week (ii) no symptoms of congestion (no orthopnea, edema, ascites, jugular vein rage) (iii) no anginal symptoms, no arrhythmias of clinical concern (iv) systolic blood pressure more than or equal to 80 mmHg and no orthostatic hypotension 3) Patients scheduled for induction of outpatient cardiac rehabilitation 4) Patients with basic ADLs 5) Patients with written informed consent

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1) Pulmonary arterial hypertension, significant left heart valvular disease (severe regurgitation or moderate or greater stenosis), cardiomyopathy, acute coronary syndrome, complex adult congenital heart disease 2) Patients with severe orthopaedic disease that makes it difficult to implement a cardiac rehabilitation programme. 3) Patients with dementia, which makes it difficult to implement cardiac rehabilitation programmes. 4) Patients with contraindications to resistance training (1) NYHA classification IV, (2) left ventricular outflow tract stenosis, (3) non-compensated heart failure, (4) uncontrolled arrhythmia (increasing trend of supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias), (5) severe and symptomatic aortic stenosis, (6) uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, and (7) uncontrolled uncontrolled hypertension (>180/110 mmHg), (8) severe pulmonary hypertension (mean pulmonary arterial pressure >55 mmHg), (9) complicated by acute aortic dissection (thrombosed), (10) severe heart failure (terminal )) (5) Patients with an implanted pacemaker or defibrillator with heart rate limitation. (6) Patients deemed unsuitable as research subjects by the principal investigators and subinvestigators.
