Authors' conclusion

In HFpEF, isocaloric HIIT and MCT seem to be equally effective over 3 months.

Study context

Population
Patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) undergoing 3 months of exercise training
Comparison
MCT vs high-intensity interval training (HIIT)
Primary endpoint
Associations of ET frequency, duration, intensity (%HRR) and estimated energy expenditure with change in peak V̇O2
Follow-up
3 months
