Summary

The aim of this study is to determine whether heart failure patients can tolerate a four-weeks of a new exercise training regimen that targets peripheral tissues (Regional Specific Training Stimulus-RSTS) and has been show to produce significant benefits in aerobic capacity and strength in healthy subjects aged 70+years who were at risk for losing functional independence.

OTHER

Regional Specific Training (RSTS)

The RSTS protocol was designed to focus on specific peripheral muscle groups without imposing a significant cardiorespiratory strain. Each exercise involved contractions with moderate load but with an extended duration of up to six minutes. Eight specific exercises were performed to target all major muscle groups and enable the routine to be completed within 60 minutes including warm-up, rest periods and stretching between exercises, and cool down exercises.
