Effect of Aquatic High Intensity Resistive Training on Patients With Chronic Heart Failure
Sponsor: Cairo University
Summary
PURPOSE: to evaluate effect of aquatic high intensity resistive training on cardiac function and exercise capacity in patients with chronic heart failure. BACKGROUND: Heart failure (HF) is a rapidly growing public health issue with an estimated prevalence of \>37.7 million individuals globally. HF is a shared chronic phase of cardiac functional impairment secondary to many etiologies, and patients with HF experience numerous symptoms that affect their quality of life, including dyspnea, fatigue, poor exercise tolerance, and fluid retention.

Conditions
Interventions
aquatic high intensity resistive training
The experimental group participants will involve in aquatic high intensity resistive training sessions. The participants in the intervention group will receive 1 h of supervised lower limb aquatic resistance training three times a week for 12 weeks, for a total of 36 training sessions.
usual care
The control group will maintain usual care and will be asked to continue their usual leisure time activities. They will be offered the possibility of participating in two sessions consisting of 1 h of light stretching and relaxation during the 3-month intervention period.
