Neuromuscular Versus Resistance Training on Functional Capacity in Patients With Heart Failure.
Comparative Effects Between Neuromuscular Versus Resistance Training on Functional Capacity, Cardiorespiratory Fitness, and Lower Limb Performance in Patients With Heart Failure.
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 9 Apr 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This randomized controlled trial will compare the effects of neuromuscular training and resistance training on functional capacity, cardiorespiratory fitness, and lower limb performance in patients with chronic heart failure. A total of 40 participants will be randomly assigned into two groups in a single-blinded design. Both groups will undergo a 10-week supervised exercise program. Outcomes will be assessed using VO₂ peak, 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), and quality of life measures. The study aims to determine the more effective rehabilitation approach for improving clinical outcomes in heart failure patients.
