Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether high intensity interval training (HIIT) is
superior to moderate continuous training in increasing cardiopulmonary capacity in heart
failure with preserved ejection fraction patients.
Detailed Description
High intensity interval training (HIIT) has been proved to increase oxygen consumption,
having superior cardiovascular effect when compared to moderate continuous training (MCT) in
post-infarction patients (Wisloff et al.) Aerobic training also had shown positive effect on
oxygen consumption and diastolic function in subjects with HFPEF when compared to usual care
(Edelmann et al).
However, the comparison of HIIT and MCT on improving functional capacity and diastolic
function in HFPEF patients has not yet been study.

Description
The HIIT group will warm up for 10 minutes at 60% to 70% of peak heart rate(50% to 60% of V̇O2peak) before walking four 4-minute intervals at 85% to 95% of peak heart rate. Each interval will be separated by 3-minute active pauses, walking at 60% to 70% of peak heart rate. The training session will be terminated by a 3-minute cool-down at 60% to 70% of peak heart rate. Total exercise time will be 38 minutes for the HIIT group. Patients will perform 3 training sessions per week for 12 consecutive weeks.

Description
The moderate continuous training (MCT) group will undergo treadmill walking continuously at 60% to 70% of peak heart rate for 47 minutes each session to make sure the training protocols will be isocaloric. Patients will perform 3 training sessions per week for 12 consecutive weeks.

Conditions
Conditions usually refer to a disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury. In ClinicalTrials.gov,
conditions include any health issue worth studying, such as lifespan, quality of life, health risks, etc.
Interventions
Interventions refer to the drug, vaccine, procedure, device, or other potential treatment being studied.
Interventions can also include less intrusive possibilities such as surveys, education, and interviews.
Study Phase
Most clinical trials are designated as phase 1, 2, 3, or 4, based on the type of questions
that study is seeking to answer:
In Phase 1 (Phase I) clinical trials, researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people (20-80) for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
In Phase 2 (Phase II) clinical trials, the study drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people (100-300) to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
In Phase 3 (Phase III) clinical trials, the study drug or treatment is given to large groups of people (1,000-3,000) to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
In Phase 4 (Phase IV) clinical trials, post marketing studies delineate additional information including the drug's risks, benefits, and optimal use.
These phases are defined by the Food and Drug Administration in the Code of Federal Regulations.
