However, data from more comprehensive training programs are limited. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that exercise training applying the concept of comprehensive local muscle training can improve aerobic and functional working capacity as well as quality of life in patients with CHF. METHODS: Twenty-four men and women [age 63+/-9 years (mean+/-S.D.)] with stable, moderate chronic heart failure (left ventricular ejection fraction 30+/-10%), were investigated in a randomized controlled study with a training group of 16 patients and a control group of 8 patients.
