Resistance Training to Prehabilitate Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Summary

Structural changes in skeletal muscles of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have been linked to impaired muscle function, reduced exercise capacity, and increased mortality associated with this disease. Muscle dysfunction also contributes to dyspnea intensity and the ability to sustain exercise, making aerobic exercise training intolerable at the intensity and/or volume required to achieve clinically important changes. Resistance training (RT) is an attractive exercise modality because it is efficacious and more tolerable initially. No work has examined whether a short-term RT program can reduce exertional symptoms and improve exercise tolerance (dyspnea and leg fatigue) in patients with COPD.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Individualized Resistance Training

Lower body resistance exercises will be prescribed in various combinations over multiple days and individually modified and progressed to achieve advances in both movement pattern, intensity, and exercise volume.
