TL;DR

Physical training, which improves exercise capacity, does not have an unfavourable effect on anabolic/catabolic balance or neurohumoral activation in patients with congestive heart failure and decreases plasma noradrenaline at rest.

Abstract

Physical training, which improves exercise capacity, does not have an unfavourable effect on anabolic/catabolic balance or neurohumoral activation in patients with congestive heart failure. It decreases plasma noradrenaline at rest. Minor changes in hormonal responses during exercise emerged after physical training which unlikely contribute to the improved exercise capacity.
