Blood Flow Restriction Training in Chronic Heart Failure: an Effective Training Strategy?

NCT03342833 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE2 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 25

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this current study proposal is to identify the potential physiological adaptations arising from a combined BFR+HIIT training intervention in CHF patients. We hypothesise that the addition of BFR to HIIT will increase whole-body V̇O2peak by promoting vascular and skeletal muscle adaptations above that seen with HIIT alone. The secondary outcomes of this study are to determine if such a training intervention leads to clinical improvements in exercise intolerance symptoms and quality of life indices. Given that the majority of previous research in to both BFR and HIIT has largely involved young, healthy and relatively active participants, the final objective of this current proposal is to determine the viability, tolerability and efficacy of these training modalities in an elderly cohort of predominantly sedentary CHF patients.
