Abstrakt: Cardiovascular disorders are a significant worldwide health challenge. Out of them, congestive heart failure is the primary reason for death and illness globally. Based on the latest census data, heart failure results in a significant financial burden each year. Exercise therapy is a crucial component of the nonpharmacological treatment of heart failure. Prescribing a proper exercise program might be tough due to the availability of many exercise regimens and the quick developments in available research. While there is clear and indisputable evidence supporting the cardiovascular advantages of aerobic exercise, it is equally important to promote the inclusion of resistance training in exercise routines because of its impact on muscular endurance and improvement of skeletal myopathy in individuals with heart failure. This study employed a systematic literature review methodology to provide a comprehensive summary of the existing literature and emphasize the cardiovascular advantages of resistance training, either on its own or when combined with aerobic training. We conducted a comprehensive analysis by examining articles from reputable journals published from 2010 to 2023. Eventually, we picked nine studies for a detailed examination. The inclusion criteria consist of studies that focus on heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), weight training either alone or in conjunction with aerobic therapy, and research that are accessible for free in either the PubMed or PubMed Central databases. The systematic study found that the combination of resistance training and aerobic therapy yields superior cardiovascular benefits compared to either resistance or aerobic therapy alone. Periodic intermittent muscular exercise (PRIME) and super circuit training (SCT) were shown to enhance both cardiac and non-cardiac clinical results when compared to traditional exercise therapy. In addition, other variables, such as insufficient motivation and limited time availability, contribute to inadequate compliance with exercise therapy. Methods such as telerehabilitation and tailoring exercise programs to include activities that patients find enjoyable have resulted in enhanced long-term adherence rates. However, it is crucial to conduct largerscale randomized controlled trials to thoroughly investigate the potential of resistance training in rehabilitating patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction. This will help in developing the most effective exercise therapy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
