Summary

* To determine the effects of moderate intensity exercise vs high intensity interval training on functional capacity in women with heart failure
* To determine the effects of moderate intensity exercise vs high intensity interval training on quality of life in women with heart failure

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

moderate-intensity aerobic training

Group A will undergo a moderate-intensity aerobic training program as part of a structured cardiac rehabilitation protocol. The program will be supervised sessions, conducted three times per week for 12 weeks. Each session will include approximately 30 minutes of aerobic exercise performed on a bicycle ergometer at an intensity of 60% of heart rate reserve (HRR)

OTHER

High-intensity interval training

Group B will perform a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program designed according to established cardiac rehabilitation protocols. Bicycle ergometer will be used, in which each session will begin with a 10-minute warm-up (lower limb large muscle stretches), followed by intervals performed at 80% of heart rate reserve (HRR) for 3 min, alternating with recovery periods at low intensity 40% of HRR for 3 min. The total exercise duration will be approximately 30 minutes per session, conducted three times weekly for 12 weeks under supervision. Participants will be encouraged to maintain self-directed exercise after the intervention period
