TL;DR
In patients with stable chronic heart failure, exercise training is associated with reduction of peripheral resistance and results in small but significant improvements in stroke volume and reduction in cardiomegaly.

Peripheral adaptations, including an increase in peak blood flow to the exercising leg, played an important role in improving exercise tolerance and can achieve a significant training effect from long-term exercise in ambulatory patients with chronic heart failure.

Results indicate that physical training restores FDD in patients with chronic heart failure, possibly by enhanced endothelial release of nitric oxide.

Regular physical training increases maximal exercise tolerance and delays anaerobic metabolism during submaximal exercise in patients with stable chronic heart failure and improved functional capacity is closely linked to an exercise-induced increase in the oxidative capacity of skeletal muscle.

Home-based physical training programmes are feasible even in severe chronic heart failure and have a beneficial effect on exercise tolerance, peak oxygen consumption, and symptoms, and the commonly held belief that rest is the mainstay of treatment of Chronic heart failure should no longer be accepted.

Patients with CHF who engage in regular physical exercise show enhanced oxidative enzyme activity in the working skeletal muscle and a concomitant reshift to type I fibers and these exercise-induced changes in oxidative capacity appear to be unrelated to changes in peripheral perfusion.

It is demonstrated that ET induces significant improvement in exercise capacity only in patients with DCM and a pattern of abnormal LV relaxation and the improvement in peak VO2 is significantly correlated with an increase in peak early filling rate and peak filling rate as well as a decrease in atrial filling rate.
