Would you like to know more about how to combine exercise training and nutritional/pharmacological treatments to enhance exercise capacity and body composition in patients with COPD? https://t.co/bQM8Ikd57I
'just #walk a bit more' = clinically ineffective in patients with #heart failure
Hence, #exercise prescription in cardiovascular disease requires much more precision and personalization...
An excellent study from the WATCHFUL researchers
