•Participants will be eligible for the study if they have HF of any cause confirmed by echocardiography in preceding 12 months, and are enrolled in a HF exercise training programme at one of the participating sites. As all people referred for HF rehabilitation undergo stringent safety review prior to being accepted into the programme, no further safety criteria will be required.

•Exclusion criteria
•Participants deemed unsafe to exercise on the day of assessment according to American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and Australian guidelines.
•Symptomatic postural hypotension, defined by dizziness in the presence of a reduction in systolic BP by 20mmHg or more upon standing from a seated position
•Orthopaedic or neurological conditions which preclude performance of any of the proposed exercise tests
•Severe cognitive, language and psychological condition that precludes participation in the exercise tests
•For participants at the Princess Alexandra Hospital who will perform the STSTs in the home environment, addition exclusion criteria will include:
•Deemed unsafe to perform a STST in the home environment based upon medical condition, risk of falling or need for supervision to be present
•Inability to participate in a telehealth consult due to lack of or poor usability of technology, poor vision or poor hearing
