Comparison of the Effects of Different Upper Extremity Aerobic Exercise Training Protocols on Arm Functional Capacity in Patients With Heart Failure With Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices

29 luglio 2026 aggiornato da: Gamze Nur AHISKALI, Erol Olcok Corum Training and Research Hospital
  1. To determine the most suitable exercise protocol for upper extremity aerobic exercise training, a widely used type of aerobic exercise to improve reduced upper extremity functional capacity in individuals with CIED and HF.
  2. To investigate whether high-intensity intermittent upper extremity aerobic exercise training provides a more effective improvement in upper extremity functional capacity compared to moderate-intensity continuous upper extremity aerobic exercise training.
  3. To determine the effectiveness of different types of upper extremity aerobic exercise training compared to lower extremity aerobic training alone in individuals with CIED and HF.

Cosa sta misurando lo studio?

Misure di risultato primarie

Misura del risultato
Misura Descrizione
Lasso di tempo
Maximal arm exercise capacity
Lasso di tempo: baseline and 8 weeks
The outcome will be evaluated using an arm ergometer exercise test. The test will begin with a 3-minute (unloaded) warm-up after rest. Different protocols will be applied to male and female patients due to differences in strength capabilities. Men will start rotating the ergometer with a 30-W workload, while women will start with a 20-W workload. In both protocols, patients will be asked to maintain a rotation speed of 70 revolutions per minute (rpm) throughout the test. Again, due to their different strength levels, the workload will be increased by 10W for men and 6W for women every minute.
baseline and 8 weeks
Functional arm exercise capacity
Lasso di tempo: baseline and 8 weeks
The outcome will be evaluated using the 6 Minute Pegboard and Ring Test (6PBRT). During the 6PBRT, participants are asked to move rings on a pegboard from the two lower holes to the two upper holes using both arms simultaneously for 6 minutes. Standardized encouragement is given every minute during the test. The number of rings moved over 6 minutes gives the total score of the test.
baseline and 8 weeks
Cardiorespiratory Fitness
Lasso di tempo: baseline and 8 weeks
The Maximum Symptom-Limited Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test (CPET), the gold standard method for assessing cardiorespiratory fitness, will be performed on a bicycle ergometer (Corival CPET, Lode, Groningen, Netherlands). During the test, the bicycle ergometer ramp test protocol will be applied (starting workload = 20 W / 20W increase every three minutes / maintaining a rotation speed of 60-70 rpm) (2). During the CPET, heart rate (HR) and heart rhythm will be continuously monitored with a 12-channel ECG test system (Custo Cardio 200 BT system, CustoMed GmbH, Ottoburn, Germany).
baseline and 8 weeks

Misure di risultato secondarie

Misura del risultato
Misura Descrizione
Lasso di tempo
Peripheral muscle strength
Lasso di tempo: baseline and 8 weeks
The outcome will be measured using a hand dynamometer (Baseline Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer, Model: 12-0240, Fabrication Enterprises INC. White Plains, NY 10602 U.S.A.). Measurements will be taken in a seated position with shoulder adduction, elbow 90° flexion, and forearm in neutral position. Three repetitions will be performed for each side. The averages for the right and left sides will be recorded for statistical analysis.
baseline and 8 weeks
Activities of Daily Living
Lasso di tempo: baseline and 8 weeks
The outcome will be assessed using the Performance Measure for Activities of Daily Living-8 for Patients with Mild Symptomatic Heart Failure (PMADL-8). PMADL-8, an ICF-based scale, has a total score ranging from 8 to 32, and a high score indicates the level of limitation in activities of daily living.
baseline and 8 weeks
Health-related quality of life
Lasso di tempo: baseline and 8 weeks
MacNew Heart Disease Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire The questionnaire consists of three sub-dimensions and 27 items: a physical limitation scale, an emotional limitation scale, and a social functioning scale, with some items falling into more than one sub-dimension. Questions are scored between 1 and 7. The total score of the questionnaire is calculated by averaging the scores given to the sub-dimensions. Higher scores indicate better quality of life.
baseline and 8 weeks
Disease-related quality of life
Lasso di tempo: baseline and 8 weeks
Assessment of Quality of Life and Related Events Scale (AQUAREL) Developed specifically for patients with pacemakers, the scale consists of 5 main sections: chest pain, arrhythmia, dyspnea, exertion, and cognition. The scale consists of 24 questions scored using a 5-point Likert system. The total score ranges from 0 to 100. A low score reflects a perception of poor health, loss of function, and the presence of pain, while a high score reflects a perception of good health, preserved function, and the absence of pain.
baseline and 8 weeks
