Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the acute effects of low (50% 1-repetition maximum) and high (75% 1-repetition maximum) resistance exercise intensities on heart rate variability in patients with chronic heart failure.
  • Conducted over 15 months, 57 patients were divided into three groups, with one group performing low-intensity resistance exercises and another performing high-intensity exercises, along with a standard walking routine.
  • Results showed that the low-intensity resistance exercise led to better heart rate variability outcomes compared to high intensity, while no significant changes were noted in hemodynamics or functional capacity.

Background: Subjective exercise experiences scale (SEES) is a 12-item questionnaire assessing global psychological responses to exercise, with three constructs including positive well-Being (PWB), psychological distress (PD), and fatigue (FAT). The present study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of the SEES questionnaire in the Iranian population.

Method: This cross-sectional psychometric study was conducted on 138 adults immediately after 30 min of walking.

Objective: Autonomic imbalance in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is characterized by reduced parasympathetic and enhanced sympathetic activity. Aerobic exercise improves autonomic function in patients with CHF and CVD. However, little is known about the effects of resistance training (RT) on cardiac autonomic function.

The present study investigated the effects of different temperatures and sodium dialysate concentration on blood pressure in hemodialysis patients. Following Williams' design, hemodialysis patients were randomly assigned into four dialysis modes. Dialysate temperature was set at 37°C for modes A and C and, 35°C for modes B and D.

Background: Health-related quality of life is an important factor to evaluate effects of different interventions in cardiovascular diseases. Improvement in quality of life (QOL) is an important goal for individuals participating in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of comprehensive CR on QOL in patients with cardiovascular disease (CAD).
