Metabolic abnormality of calf skeletal muscle is improved by localised muscle training without changes in blood flow in chronic heart failure

摘要

Conclusions-In patients with chronic heart failure, localised calf skeletal muscle training improved oxidative capacity without changes in calf blood flow. This training also improved the subjective fatigue scale. This training method may therefore alleviate leg fatigue experienced in daily activities. Objective-To investigate whether local- Ised skeletal muscle training, which does Not have a great influence on the heart, Improves abnormalities of calf muscle Metabolism in patients with chronic heart Failure.
