Outcomes of treatment for CVD have historically been worse in females than in males. The inability to recover, may be, at least in part, due to lower levels of skeletal muscle mass in females; which is made worse with the onset of menopause and especially when a catabolic event like surgery and / or illness occurs. We theorize that while regaining cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) after treatment for CVD is very important, it is only part of what is required for complete recovery. Regaining strength and muscle mass is just as important for healthy physiologic aging and recovery from illness. We outline a simply strategy for helping males and females train for strength while recovering from CVD. Copyright (c) 2022 Elsevier Inc.
