Effects of an eccentric training personalized by a low rate of perceived exertion on the maximal capacities in chronic heart failure: a randomized controlled trial.

Abstract

ECC training tailored by a low RPE is well tolerated in CHF patients and induces an improvement in maximal capacities similar to that with conventional CON training despite lower demands on the cardiorespiratory system, showing a better energetic efficiency, potentially interesting for these patients with reduced energetic reserve.
