Read our Heart Failure research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether eccentric resistance training—a type of exercise where muscles lengthen under tension—can help improve how well your heart pumps blood and your overall fitness when combined with aerobic exercise. Researchers want to see if this approach works better than standard resistance and aerobic training alone, or aerobic training by itself. The study includes people with stable chronic heart failure who are on optimal medical therapy.
Many people with heart failure have limited treatment options for improving their heart function and exercise capacity. This study explores whether eccentric resistance training might be a safe and effective way to help the heart work better and improve patients' ability to exercise.

You will be assigned to one of three groups: eccentric resistance training plus aerobic exercise, standard resistance training plus aerobic exercise, or aerobic training alone. Your participation will involve performing lower-limb exercises under supervision, with researchers monitoring your heart function and measuring changes in how well your heart pumps and your overall fitness. The exact number and duration of sessions will depend on your assigned group and the study protocol.
