About this trial
This study was planned to investigate the effects of upper extremity low-volume high-intensity interval training (LV-HIIT) on physical and cognitive function in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction(HFpEF).The research was planned as a randomized controlled trial. Patients with clinically stable HFpEF at cardiology clinic will be included in the study. These cases will be randomly divided into two groups: intervention group and control grup. After 8 weeks intervention physical functions before and after treatment; functional exercise capacity, arm exercise capacities , peripheral muscle strength , fatigue cognitive functions; anxiety and depression and fear of movement will be evaluated.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
maximal arm exercises capacity
maximal arm exercises capacity will measurement with arm ergometer test.
Time frame
At baseline and after 8 week2
Functional capacity
Functional capacity will be assessed with the six-minute walk test (6MWT).
Time frame
At baseline and after 8 week3
Upper extremity muscle strength
Upper extremity muscle strength will be evaluated with a digital dynamometer and hand grip strength will be evaluated with a jamar.
Time frame
At baseline and after 8 week4
reaction time
The auditory and visual reaction times of the individuals will be determined. The instrument used during the test can give three stimuli and consists of two parts, In measuring the reaction times, care will be taken to ensure that the measurement area is a noiseless and light-receiving environment. Individuals will be told the technique of the test and will be asked to make 1 attempt against sound and light stimulation. After the trial, 3 measurements will be taken and the results will be recorded in milliseconds

Anxiety and depresion
Hospital anxiety and depression Scale is a self-report rating scale of 14 items on a 4-point Likert scale (range 0-3). It is designed to measure anxiety and depression (7 items for each subscale). The total score is the sum of the 14 items, and for each subscale the score is the sum of the respective seven items (ranging from 0-21). It is worth noting that items referring to depression symptoms that describe somatic aspects of depression (e.g. insomnia and weight loss) are not included in the scale.
Time frame
At baseline and after 8 week3
activities of daily living
Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) will used. The questionnaire is divided into two parts. The first parts comprises 38 questions in six categories: sleep, physical mobility, energy, pain, emotional reactions, and social isolation.The second part of the NHP is made up of seven statements about areas of life that are commonly affected by health: paid employment, jobs around the house, social life, personal relationships, sex life, hobbies and interests, and holidays. Scores on the NHP can range from 0 i.e. no distress to 100 i.e severe distress.
