Does aerobic or combined aerobic and resistance training improve Vo(2peak) and muscle function in heart failure patients?
In heart failure patients, both aerobic and combined aerobic/resistance training improve Vo2peak, with combined training potentially offering greater improvements in muscle strength and endurance.
