| Core Tip |
In heart failure, exercise intolerance is caused not only by cardiac dysfunction but also by skeletal muscle dysfunction characterized by atrophy, decreased strength, and impaired muscle metabolism. This condition directly contributes to low peripheral muscle fitness, decreased exercise tolerance, and impaired quality of life. Knee extensor resistance training is an important intervention because it specifically targets the key muscle group involved in daily functional activities. Knee extensor resistance training has been shown to increase muscle strength and endurance, improve oxygen utilization efficiency during activity, and reduce fatigue, thus positively impacting functional activities and quality of life in heart failure patients. |
