| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the effect of 16 weeks of two different training strategies on functional capacity in individuals with heart failure through exercise testing. There was a significant increase in oxygen consumption (i.e., which reflects functional capacity) only in the strength training group (Strength training 26.92 ± 9.81 x 30.52 ± 8.39 mL.kg-1.min- 1 - p = 0.025; aerobic training: 19.60 ± 7.00 x 22.42 ± 8.54 mL.kg-1.min-1 - p = 0.119). ;To evaluate the 16-week effect of two different training strategies on maximum upper limb muscle strength in individuals with heart failure using the 1-repetition maximum test. Both groups significantly increased strength (Strength training: 45 ± 17 x 51 ± 20 kg - p = 0.001; aerobic training: 38 ± 19 x 42 ± 20 kg - p = 0.012).;To evaluate the effect of 16 weeks of two different training strategies on quality of life in individuals with heart failure using a questionnaire. There was no significant change in quality of life in both groups (Strength training: 30 ± 18 x 24 ± 20 - p = 0.109; aerobic training: 36 ± 16 x 26 ± 15 - p = 0.143). | — |
