Effectiveness Of Resistance (Strength) Training For Patients With Chronic Heart Failure, Yan-Wen Chen
Effectiveness Of Resistance (Strength) Training For Patients With Chronic Heart Failure, Yan-Wen Chen
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
The recent advancements in cardiac disease treatments have remarkably enhanced the survival rate of patients with chronic heart failure. In patients with exercise intolerance, the accompanied peripheral myopathy plays an important role. Resistance training is beneficial for musculoskeletal function in patients with chronic heart failure. However, the left ventricular myocardial remodeling progression and the hemodynamic response are controversial. Some studies showed that for those with stable heart failure (New York Heart Association functional classes I to III level), the adequate resistance training was beneficial in improvement of aerobic capacity, muscle histology, metabolic function, and left ventricular ejection fraction. In this …

Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Background: The rating of perceived exertion (RPE), metabolic equivalent (MET) and maximum heart rate (HRmax) at ventilatory threshold (VT) are commonly used methods as physiological parameters for monitoring exercise intensity. However, the appropriate levels of training intensity for obese type 2 diabetic diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM) patients have not been established.Purpose: To examine the parameters in obese Type 2 DM patients at ventilatory threshold, the exercise capacity of obese Type 2 DM patients, and to determine the appropriate levels of exercise intensity for exercise prescription in obese type 2 DM patients was investigated.Methods: Twenty obese type 2 DM patients …
