Abstract
The purposes of this study in patients with congestive heart failure w ere (1) to examine the acute cardiovascular responses to resistance ex ercise, and (2) to compare them with responses during cycle ergometry. Compared with cycling, resistance exercise produced a comparable syst olic blood pressure (similar afterload), a lower rate-pressure product (reflecting a lower myocardial oxygen demand), and a slower heart rat e and higher diastolic blood pressure, which theoretically suggests be tter myocardial perfusion.
