No results posted yet for this study

Summary

On the following tests, there would be a greater increase in the functionality of COPD patients who underwent combined therapy than in those who only exercised: a set of activities of daily living (ADLs), the six-minute walk test (6MWT), an incremental symptom-limited cardiopulmonary test (CPT), and the physical functioning scale of the Short-Form 36 quality of life questionnaire (SF-36).

Conditions

  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Interventions

OTHER

physical training

For both groups, the approximately hour-long sessions occurred three times a week on alternate days for six consecutive weeks (18 sessions). Each session began with five minutes of stretching that included the cervical muscles and the upper and lower limbs, which was followed by five minutes of warm-up on a treadmill at 2Km/h and 30 minutes of aerobic physical training at a constant 3% incline.
