Relationship between resistance training and quality of life

CVD, CHRONIC HEART FAILURE
In our study, patients showed improved quality of life via the WHO-5 well-being index. Fan, et al.'s meta-analysis suggested that combining RT and AT is more effective in enhancing physical and global QOL scores in CVD patients than AT alone, driven by improved cardiopulmonary function, peak oxygen uptake, muscle strength, and aerobic capacity. A previous study in chronic heart failure patients also explored resistance training alongside aerobic training, showing a favorable but nonsignificant trend in favor of the combination. Peak VO2 is independently associated with QOL and activity capacity [
