PG - 845-850 LID - 10.1080/02701367.2021.1926897 [doi] AB - Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate whether there is a correlation between the maximum strength of upper limb when performing a multijoint exercise and peak oxygen uptake (V'O(2peak)) in Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) subjects. Method: This cross-sectional study involved CHF subjects with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than 50%, who underwent a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) on a treadmill and 1-repetition maximum (1-RM) test for upper limb strength using a bench press exercise. Results: The sample consisted of 16 individuals aged 54 +/- 12 years with a LVEF of 37 +/- 7%. The V'O(2peak) was 14.98 +/- 5.4 ml.min(-1).kg(-1) and mean maximum load in the 1-RM test was 38 +/- 16 kg. There was strong correlation of V'O(2peak) with the load in the 1-RM test (r = 0.70; p = .037; r(2) = 0.48). Conclusion: There is a strong correlation between the load in 1-RM test for upper limb with V'O(2peak) in CHF individuals. It is a safe, inexpensive and reproducible way to assess the muscle strength in this population.
