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 study is testing whether intensive strength training done in water can help people with chronic heart failure feel stronger and improve how well their heart works. You would participate in supervised exercise sessions in a heated pool, performing leg strengthening movements with increasing resistance over 12 weeks.
Heart failure limits how much exercise most patients can safely do on land, but exercising in water may be gentler on the body while still building strength. Researchers want to see if this water-based approach can help improve heart function and physical fitness in a way that's both safe and effective.

If you're in the treatment group, you would go to a heated pool three times per week for 12 weeks (36 sessions total) and perform supervised leg strength exercises with instructors watching to make sure you're doing them correctly and safely. The resistance would gradually increase by using fins and resistance boots. If you're in the comparison group, you would continue your normal daily activities and be offered two optional light stretching sessions during the three months.
