Little is known about the effects of high-intensity exercise and testosterone supplementation therapy (TST) on heart failure patients with hypotestosteronemia.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of high-intensity exercise and testosterone supplementation on quality of life and aerobic power in these patients.METHODS: Nineteen heart failure patients (age=58 ± 10 years; ejection fraction= 34 ± 8%) were randomized to either a high-intensity exercise group (control; n=9) or high-intensity exercise group with hormonal supplementation (intervention; n=10). Patients exercised (40 minutes, 90% peak oxygen consumption) for 12 weeks, three times weekly and intervention group received testosterone in the first and sixth weeks. Functional capacity measurements and Minnesota Living With Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLWHFQ) scores were obtained before and after the study period.RESULTS: Within control and intervention group respectively there was an increase in peak oxygen uptake (12% vs. 15%; pCONCLUSION: High-intensity exercise improves functional capacity and quality of life scores after 12 weeks of treatment.
