“…Os mecanismos pelos quais o treinamento físico diminui o duplo produto parecem ocorrer devido ao aumento do fluxo sanguíneo periférico e uma tendência de diminuição da resistência vascular, que acarreta uma diminuição da frequência cardíaca, sem aumento da pressão arterial durante o exercício 28 . Verificou-se também uma redução significativa do DP, em idosas após 12 semanas de treinamento resistido 27 .…”

“…It is now well established that physical training is directly related to the functional improvement of quantitative physical capacity, such as in VO 2peak , in endothelial function and consequently in the quality of life of patients with HF 11, [50][51][52] . Other variables associated with a worse prognosis, such as an improvement in sympathetic and neuro-hormonal activity and peripheral hypoxia, have also been reported as being positively modulated by physical training 53 .…”

“…Other variables associated with a worse prognosis, such as an improvement in sympathetic and neuro-hormonal activity and peripheral hypoxia, have also been reported as being positively modulated by physical training 53 . Another aspect to highlight is its direct effect on the reduction in submaximal heart rate (during exercise) and at rest 50 . Consequently, physical training has been recommended by medical guidelines 1,18 as a component in therapeutic rehabilitation programs for patients with controlled HF.…”

Over the past 50 years, the understanding of the deteriorative changes involved in the progression of heart failure (HF), initially described as resulting from changes in salt and fluid retention, or changes in hemodynamic parameters, have changed significantly. Recently, several studies conducted in HF patients showed altered plasma (or serum) levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukins 1, 6, and 18, and cardiotropin-1, among other inflammatory markers. These changes were independent of HF etiology, suggesting a common pathogenic pathway. In response to these new findings, interventions to prevent and/or reduce these inflammatory changes have been proposed.The aerobic training-induced cardiovascular benefits of physical exercises performed at intensities ranging from mild to moderate have been previously reported. Moreover, it has been shown that moderate aerobic physical training seems to be able to modulate, in the presence of an abnormal chronic inflammatory condition, the overexpression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, soluble adhesion molecules, chemoattractant factors and oxidative stress. Altogether, these data indicate a possible anti-inflammatory effect induced by physical training.Therefore, this review aims to assess the role of physical training as an alternative non-pharmacological adjuvant to be administered in some pathological conditions in which TNF-α chronic changes are predominant, as in HF. The "antiinflammatory effect" induced by physical training seems to be primarily mediated by IL-10.

“…Recently, in numerous publications, it has been suggested that the application of physical training in the rehabilitation of patients with CHF and COPD is safe and beneficial, with increased physical endurance, as well increased oxygen consumption at the peak of physical exertion, among the main benefits [1,2]. Physical training also increases the effects of ventilation.…”

Increasing physical activity is a widely-known method of rehabilitation of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, what kind of procedure is to be applied if a patient suffers from advanced heart or respiratory failure, cannot undertake physical exercise due to locomotor system disorders or is currently undergoing respiratorotherapy? Recent research shows that neuromuscular electrical stimulation of the lower limb skeletal muscles (NMES) may comprise an alternative to physical training in patients with CHF and COPD. The aim of this study is to summarize the current state of knowledge on the use of NMES in cardiac rehabilitation of patients with CHF and pulmonary rehabilitation of patients with COPD. As demonstrated in recent research on the topic, NMES -due to forcing the muscles to activate -increases exercise tolerance, muscle mass and endurance in patients with CHF and COPD. The beneficial effect of NMES on blood circulation in the muscles, aerobic enzymes activity, functioning of the vascular endothelium, reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines concentration and increased quality of life has also been presented. It is to be accentuated that NMES treatment, due to lesser physical exertion and, in turn, a decreased feeling of dyspnea are more comfortable for the patient than traditional physical training. Moreover, NMES treatment, after foregoing training, can be applied at home. Potential side effects include transient muscle pain and minor skin damage due to improper positioning of the electrodes. To summarize, NMES treatment is well received by CHF and COPD patients and brings about increased exercise tolerance, as well as better quality of life. Devices used for NMES therapy, due to progressive miniaturization, are easily accessible and relatively inexpensive.
