Comparison of the Effects of Different Upper Extremity Aerobic Exercise Training Protocols on Arm Functional Capacity in Patients With Heart Failure With Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices
Sponsor: Erol Olcok Corum Training and Research Hospital
Summary
1. To determine the most suitable exercise protocol for upper extremity aerobic exercise training, a widely used type of aerobic exercise to improve reduced upper extremity functional capacity in individuals with CIED and HF. 2. To investigate whether high-intensity intermittent upper extremity aerobic exercise training provides a more effective improvement in upper extremity functional capacity compared to moderate-intensity continuous upper extremity aerobic exercise training. 3. To determine the effectiveness of different types of upper extremity aerobic exercise training compared to lower extremity aerobic training alone in individuals with CIED and HF.

High-Intensity Interval Upper Extremity Aerobic Exercise Training
total of 20 minutes, consisting of 5 minutes of warm-up, 3x2 minutes of high-intensity training at 80-90% of maximum workload, 2x2 minutes of active rest at 30-40% of maximum workload, and 5 minutes of cool-down
Moderate Intensity Continuous Upper Extremity Aerobic Exercise Training
a total of 20 minutes, consisting of 5 minutes of warm-up, 10 minutes at 70-80% of maximum workload, and 5 minutes of cool-down
Lower Extremity Aerobic Exercise Training
a total of 40 minutes, at workloads equivalent to 70-80% of peak oxygen consumption
