Muscle Metabolism and Oxygenation During Localized Fatigue-exercise in COPD

NCT01909544 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 20

Last updated 2014-02-07

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a localized exercise, in which cardiorespiratory demand is reduced, will result in greater limb muscle fatigue in patients with COPD as a consequence of muscle oxygenation and muscle metabolism disturbances.

Conditions

  • Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive

Interventions

OTHER

Fatiguing exercise

All participants (patients and healthy subjects) will perform the exercise both under normoxic (FiO2 = 0.21) and hyperoxic conditions (FiO2 = 100%)
