RT for People with Heart Failure Virtual Workshop

Resistance Training for People with Heart Failure Virtual Workshop

This virtual workshop will summarize the existing literature on resistance training (RT) for people with chronic heart failure (CHF). The benefits of RT in people with CHF will be described and common methods to establish an individual with CHF’s RT capacity will be provided. Recommendations for RT exercise prescription in people with CHF will be made. A discussion of the safety considerations for RT in people with CHF will be discussed. 

The American Heart Association (AHA) has just published a new guideline on resistance training (RT) and Neil Smart was invited to present a specific session on RT for people with chronic heart failure (CHF) at the recent AHA Scientific Sessions in Philadelphia, USA, Nov 2023. Both the updated AHA guideline and Professor Smart's presentation were part of a 4-part symposium entitled "Resistance is not Futile' and subsequent panel discussion. These recent works provide the ideal, timely opportunity to provide an update to ESSA professionals.

Presented by Professor Neil Smart, AES, AEP

Neil is a Professor and Accredited Exercise Physiologist. His main research interest is the management of cardiovascular disease through exercise therapy, delivered using different exercise training approaches, such as isometric- and high-intensity interval-exercise training. Neil has published more than 140 refereed journal articles.
