Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Patients who have mild to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease may obtain improvement in dyspnea, exercise capacity, and health-related quality of life as a result of exercise training. The type and intensity of training is of key importance in determining outcomes. High-intensity aerobic training leads to physiologic gains in aerobic fitness. Nevertheless, extreme breathlessness or peripheral muscle fatigue may prevent some patients from performing high-intensity exercise; therefore, new tools are needed to improve the effectiveness of pulmonary rehabilitation.
