Official title
Effects of a Walking Program and Inspiratory Muscle Training in Individuals With Chronic Heart Failure - A Pilot Study
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Individuals with chronic heart failure need a "safe and effective" exercise program that could enhance their quality of life. In this study, we examined whether an experimental exercise program of autonomous walking and high-intensity Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) could result in better effects on respiratory muscle strength (PImax), cardiovascular endurance, quality of life, and physical activity, when compared to autonomous walking and "sham" IMT program, in adults with chronic heart failure.
