Female cardiac transplant recipients' aerobic capacity is 60% lower than sex and
age-predicted values. The effect of exercise training on restoring the impaired
aerobic endurance and muscle strength in female cardiac transplant recipients is
not known. This study examined the effect that aerobic and strength training
have on improving aerobic endurance and muscle strength in female cardiac
