The Effects of Machined Based Resistance Training in Older Patients With Chronic Heart Failure With Sarcopenia
The goal of study is to evaluate the effects of an eight-week machine-based resistance training program on managing sarcopenia in older outpatients with chronic heart failure (HF) at Military Hospital 175.
• Aged ≥ 60 years old
• Meet the diagnostic criteria of 2019 AWGS2 sarcopenia, can be diagnosed once meeting (1) + (2) or (1) + (3) or (1) + (2) + (3): (1) Appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM): dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) (male \<7.0 kg/m², female \<5.7 kg/m²). (2) Muscle strength: handgrip strength (male \<28.0 kg, female \<18.0 kg). (3) Physical performance: 6-meter walking speed \<1.0 m/s.
• Meet the diagnostic criteria of heart failure following ESC 2021.
• Clearly understand the content and purpose of the study and sign the informed consent form.
