Summary

This study examined the effects of low-intensity physical activity on functional capacity, quality of life, and psychological well-being in congestive heart failure patients with varying BMI. Forty patients were divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group followed an 8-week physical activity program, while the control group received usual care. Results showed significant improvement in walk distance, quality of life, and depression scores in the intervention group. The study concludes that low-intensity physical activity effectively improves health outcomes in heart failure patients across different BMI categories.
