Influence of work rate incremental rate on the exercise responses in patients with COPD

Article Abstract:

Exercise responses in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have been studied. The influence of work rate incremental rate was investigated. It was found that the work rate incremental rate has an effect on the Wpeak achieved. However, the peak values for VO(sub.2) VE, and HR and symptom scores stay comparable.

Effects of oxygen on lower limb blood flow and O(sub)2 uptake during exercise in COPD

Article Abstract:

This article examines the beneficial effects of oxygen supplementation on exercise capacity, lower extremity blood flow, and oxygen uptake in patients with chronic obstructive lung disease during an incremental cycling test. Findings indicate that oxygen supplementation increased exercise capacity, blood flow, and oxygen uptake in the lower limbs.

Statistical Data Included, Blood flow, Oxygen, Leg, Oxygen in the body, Extremities, Lower

Skeletal muscle dysfunction in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Article Abstract:

Exercise intolerance in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is often associated with skeletal muscle dysfunction from factors such as disuse atrophy, myopathy, and malnutrition. Anabolic hormone use and physical training have been shown to improve muscle function and reduce exercise intolerance in these patients.
