Eccentric Muscle Training in Cardiac Rehabilitation

The goal of this interventional study is to assess the training effects in a training schedule in which eccentric overload training and eccentric cycle training are used. Researchers will compare a training program of eccentric overload training and eccentric cycling training with a traditional training program of strength and cardio training in people with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. This study will be delivered in a cardiac rehabilitation setting.
