Brief Summary

The first purpose of this study is to investigate the physiological changes of heart failure patients during cardiopulmonary exercise test with spot jogging and compare them with the standard stationary bike cardiopulmonary exercise test. The second one is to compare the effect between home-based cardiac rehabilitation using different step frequency and toe lift or not to adjust spot jogging intensity and outpatient center-based cardiac rehabilitation for heart failure patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Cardiopulmonary exercise test

  baseline at enrollment and the end of treatment at 9 weeks (after 18 exercise sessions)

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Six-minute walking test

Study Arms (2)

home-based cardiac rehabilitation group

EXPERIMENTAL

All participants will undergo spot jogging cardiopulmonary exercise test and six-minute walking test. The home-based spot jogging cardiac rehabilitation group will receive exercise intensity guidance in the outpatient cardiac rehabilitation room for 30 minutes of spot jogging and treadmill exercise during the first, fourth, and seventh weeks, and will perform moderate-intensity spot jogging for 30 minutes twice a week at home.

Other: Home-based spot jogging

outpatient center-based cardiac rehabilitation group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

All participants will undergo spot jogging cardiopulmonary exercise test and six-minute walking test. The outpatient center-based cardiac rehabilitation group will perform moderate-intensity stationary bike or treadmill exercise for 30 minutes twice a week in the outpatient cardiac rehabilitation room.

Other: Center-based exercise training

Interventions

Center-based exercise training OTHER

All participants will undergo a spot jogging cardiopulmonary exercise test and a six-minute walking test. The outpatient center-based cardiac rehabilitation group will perform moderate-intensity stationary biking or treadmill exercise for 30 minutes, twice a week, under the supervision of a physical therapist in the outpatient cardiac rehabilitation room.

Home-based spot jogging OTHER

The home-based spot jogging cardiac rehabilitation group will receive exercise intensity guidance in the outpatient cardiac rehabilitation room for 30 minutes of spot jogging and treadmill exercise during the first, fourth, and seventh weeks. They will then perform moderate-intensity spot jogging at home for 30 minutes, twice a week, at a perceived exertion level of 13 out of 20 on the RPE scale.
