Abstract
The benefits from resistance training for chronic heart failure patients on beta-blocker medication included an increased aerobic and exercise capacity, skeletal muscle strength and most importantly, an improvement in the quality of life, which is the main goal of cardiac rehabilitation programs. Furthermore, with appropriate supervision, it is recommended that resistance exercise be added to the exercise rehabilitation program of these patients when possible.
