Importance of physical detraining in functional capacity of individuals with chronic peripheral arterial occlusive disease: a cross-sectional pilot study.

Background: Physical training is a well-established strategy for rehabilitation of the functional capacity of individuals with chronic peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD). However, some individuals quit training after participating in a physical training program, undergoing detraining. There is scant literature on the effects of physical detraining in individuals with PAOD and it is therefore important to investigate the effects of this phenomenon.

High-intensity interval training is effective and superior to moderate continuous training in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: A randomized clinical trial.

Background: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a prevalent syndrome, with exercise intolerance being one of its hallmarks, contributing to worse quality of life and mortality. High-intensity interval training is an emerging training option, but its efficacy in HFpEF patients is still unknown.

Design: Single-blinded randomized clinical trial.
