Let's remember that this study was geared towards improving exercise tolerance in individuals with Chronic Heart Failure. More intense modalities of training can be risky for these people until they've reduced their symptoms (if they can). Further, the study of KE exercise alone allowes for these scientists to isolate the working muscle (rather than whole-body exercise), while identifying its effects on systemic and cardiac measures.Alexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467994117916260529.post-50515259716157768522011-10-05T04:23:56.112-07:002011-10-05T04:23:56.112-07:00But, but, but...
