Does physical training in warm water improve exercise capacity and muscle function in older patients with chronic heart failure?
Hydrotherapy represents a well-tolerated alternative training regimen that may improve exercise capacity and muscle function in older patients with chronic heart failure.
Physical training in warm water was well tolerated and seems to improve exercise capacity as well as muscle function in small muscle groups in patients with CHF. This new approach broadens the variety of training regimes for older patients with CHF.
Cider et al. (Mon,) studied this question.
