Brief Summary:
It is an interventional study in which 60 chronic heart failure patients estimated to enroll according to random allocation and divided into two groups. The experimental group participants will involve in aquatic high intensity resistive training sessions. The participants in the intervention group will receive 1 h of supervised lower limb aquatic resistance training three times a week for 12 weeks, for a total of 36 training sessions. Resistance of exercises will be progressed with three different levels: barefoot, small fins and large resistance boots and the training leg will perform all the movements without contact with the pool walls or bottom i.e., non-weight bearing. The intervention will be completed in small groups of 6-8 subjects in a pool heated to 30-32 with two instructors: one ensuring intensity and the other full range of movement. Intensity of the training sessions will be set at "as hard and fast as possible" to ensure maximal muscle contraction. Full range of motion will be strictly controlled for to ensure optimal movement of synovial fluid and exposure of the whole cartilage to the low compressive and shear forces created by the muscle contraction and movement. Training intensity will be monitored using heart rate monitors (Polar Electro Ltd, Kempele, Finland), rate of perceived exertion (RPE) using the Borg 6-20 scale and number of repetitions achieved per movement.
The control group will maintain usual care and will be asked to continue their usual leisure time activities. They will be offered the possibility of participating in two sessions consisting of 1 h of light stretching and relaxation during the 3-month intervention period.
