Physical activity and perception of energy and fatigue in obstructive sleep apnea

Article Abstract:

Results reveal that sleep apnea severity, as determined by respiratory disturbance index, is unrelated to subject's well-being. In the sleep apnea subjects, physical activity level is higher although they exhibit severe sleep apnea. Data indicate a high prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea associated with daytime fatigue and subjective distress and that exercise may improve the perception of energy and vitality.

Responsiveness of continuous ratings of dyspnea during exercise in patients with COPD

Article Abstract:

The responsiveness of a new computerized method for patients to provide continuous ratings of dyspnea during exercise in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is examined. Results reveal that continuous ratings of dyspnea were responsive to inhaled bronchodilator therapy during both incremental and constant work exercise tests in patients with symptomatic COPD.

Stability of dyspnea ratings after exercise training in patients with COPD

Article Abstract:

Research indicates that patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can use the same dyspnea ratings after their participation in pulmonary rehabilitation to monitor exercise training at the same relative intensity regardless of the physiologic response.
