Summary

We want to test the hypothesis, that resistance training by the use of weigth cuffs on the angle can prevent loss or improve the strength of the quadriceps muscle in COPD patients admitted to hospital due to an exacerbation. The training is started at day one of admittance and the strength of the quadriceps is measured by a portable dynamometer.
