Muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) decreases during low-intensity dynamic one-leg exercise in healthy subjects but increases in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). We hypothesized that increased peak oxygen uptake (V̇o 2peak ) after aerobic training would be accompanied by less sympathoexcitation during both mild and moderate one-leg dynamic cycling, an attenuated muscle metaboreflex, and greater skin vasodilation. We studied 27 stable, treated HFrEF patients (6 women; mean age: 65 ± 2 SE yr; mean left ventricular ejection fraction: 30 ± 1%) and 18 healthy age-matched volunteers (6 women; mean age: 57 ± 2 yr). We assessed V̇o 2peak  (open-circuit spirometry) and the skin microcirculatory response to reactive hyperemia (laser flowmetry). Fibular MSNA (microneurography) was recorded before and during one-leg cycling (2 min unloaded and 2 min at 50% of V̇o 2peak ) and, to assess the muscle metaboreflex, during posthandgrip ischemia (PHGI). HFrEF patients were evaluated before and after 6 mo of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation. Pretraining V̇o 2peak  and skin vasodilatation were lower ( P &lt; 0.001) and resting MSNA higher ( P = 0.01) in HFrEF than control subjects. Training improved V̇o 2peak  (+3.0 ± 1.0 mL·kg −1 ·min −1 ; P &lt; 0.001) and cutaneous vasodilation and diminished resting MSNA (−6.0 ± 2.0, P = 0.01) plus exercise MSNA during unloaded (−4.0 ± 2.5, P = 0.04) but not loaded cycling (−1.0 ± 4.0 bursts/min, P = 0.34) and MSNA during PHGI ( P &lt; 0.05). In HFrEF patients, exercise training lowers MSNA at rest, desensitizes the sympathoexcitatory metaboreflex, and diminishes MSNA elicited by mild but not moderate cycling. Training-induced downregulation of resting MSNA and attenuated reflex sympathetic excitation may improve exercise capacity and survival.
