The purpose of the study was to assess the benefits of regular, supervised exercise training on the functional capacity of elderly patients with congestive heart failure. Subjects were asked to complete a 6-month training program at the GCRC Exercise Testing and Training Facility. The following conclusions are: 1) a hospital-based program is impractical for long-term training in this cohort. A new proposal will be designed shortly looking at the utility of a community-based program. No adverse effects were noted with this training. 2) Forty-nine percent of the subjects were able to complete the 6-month program. Those who dropped out did so because of time and transportation constraints. 3) Overall, there was a 22% improvement in exercise capacity as measured by peak VO2, a 98% increase in submaximal exercise capacity assessed by treadmill, and a 122% increase in submaximal exercise duration assessed by the 6-minute walk. EXERCISE ONLY PROTOCOL; NO INPATIENT DAYS OR OUTPATIENT VISITS.

本研究的目的是评估定期、有监督的运动训练对老年充血性心力衰竭患者功能能力的益处。要求受试者在GCRC运动测试和训练机构完成6个月的训练计划。结论如下：1）以医院为基础的长期培训计划在该队列中是不切实际的。不久将设计一项新的提案，研究以社区为基础的方案的效用。本次培训未发现不良影响。2)49%的受试者能够完成6个月的计划。那些辍学的人是因为时间和交通的限制。3)总体而言，通过峰值VO 2测量的运动能力提高了22%，通过跑步机评估的次极量运动能力增加了98%，通过6分钟步行评估的次极量运动持续时间增加了122%。仅锻炼方案;无住院日或门诊访视。
