Key result
HIIT and mild continuous training both boost CHF exercise tolerance, but HIIT improves more parameters.
Why the study?
Chronic heart failure reduces physical exercise tolerance, motivating the search for optimal combinations of exercise volume and intensity to ensure efficient and safe cardiac rehabilitation.
Does exercise intensity matter in exercise-based cardiovascular rehabilitation for chronic heart failure?
Does exercise intensity matter in exercise-based cardiovascular rehabilitation for chronic heart failure?
This review discusses the optimal combinations of exercise volume and intensity in cardiovascular rehabilitation for patients with chronic heart failure.

Gabriel Dias Rodrigues (2021) conducted an editorial in Chronic Heart Failure. High-intensity interval training vs. Mild-intensity continuous training was evaluated on Exercise tolerance. Both high-intensity interval training and mild-intensity continuous training increased exercise tolerance in chronic heart failure patients, though high-intensity training improved more parameters.
