ASSOBRAFIR clinical practice guidelines in cardiovascular physical therapy: Exercise-based interventions in outpatient rehabilitation programs for heart failureMarlus Karsten, Giulliano Gardenghi, Alessandra Choqueta Toledo Arruda, Aparecida Maria Catai, Ariany Marques Vieira, Cinara Stein, Cintia Laura Pereira de Araujo, Danielle Aparecida Gomes Pereira, ... Gerson Cipriano
Highlights
- •
Supervised high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) are options for heart failure treatment in cardiovascular rehabilitation programs (CoR, low CoE).
- •
Supervised moderate-intensity resistance training (MIRT) may be more effective than low-intensity resistance training (LIRT) for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) patients (CoR, very low CoE).
- •
High-intensity inspiratory muscle training (HI-IMT) improves inspiratory muscle strength/endurance in heart failure patients (CoR, very low CoE).
- •
Aerobic training (AT) plus neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) offers no extra benefit over AT alone for heart failure patients (CoR, low CoE).
- •
NMES is more effective than NMES placebo or usual activities for heart failure patients (CoR, low CoE).

Renan Alves Resende
Highlights
- •
Over two-thirds of Para athletes had health problems; injuries were 74 % of cases.
- •
Taekwondo showed highest injury prevalence and incidence rate among the four sports.
- •
Shoulder injuries had greatest burden, followed by ankle and knee in Para athletes.
