2011, International Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :The combination of a higher prescribed in-water exercise intensity with ET (vs ET alone) likely contributed to the greater increase of exercise tolerance we observed in the CT group. The beneficial effects of HT programs on muscular performance have been studied in elderly people [18] and in different patient groups [19,20]. Moreover several authors have comparatively evaluated the effects of land-based and water-based exercise [21].
