Respiratory muscle strength at baseline, 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks in the control, low inspiratory and peripheral resistance training (LIPRT), and moderate inspiratory and peripheral resistance training (MIPRT) groups, as assessed using linear mixed models and post hoc analysis with Tukey test. *p < 0.05 vs. baseline, § p < 0.05 vs. control at the same time point

After the NYHA functional class analysis using the McNemar test, the p value is missing in the Results section of the Abstract. The correct text is reproduced below.

Results All groups showed similar quality-of-life improvements. Low and moderate intensities training programs improved inspiratory muscle strength, peripheral muscle strength, and walking distance. However, only moderate intensity improved expiratory muscle strength and NYHA functional class (p = 0.031) in HF patients.
