Maximal Oxygen Uptake (VO2max) in Patients With COPD

NCT06257381 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 24

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), facing a decline in lung function and compromised quality of life, often benefit from regular exercise (1). Assessing their cardiorespiratory fitness through maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) is crucial (2), yet research on its validity and reliability in COPD patients remains sparse. This study aims to fill this gap, examining the content validity and test-retest reliability of the VO2-max test in COPD, comparing it with healthy controls.

VO2max

Overall design 16 non-smoking individuals with COPD and 16 controls (non-smokers) matched for age and sex on a group level will be included in the study. The study consists of two study days. Separation between the study days are at least 48 hours and maximum 10 days. Before entering the study: Informed written and oral consent. Study day 1: Medical examination, full lung function testing (dynamic spirometry, whole-body plethysmography, diffusion capacity) followed by a maximal oxygen consumption test (VO2peak), VO2-verification bout and VO2kinetic test (duration 3h). Study day 2: Participants will undergo a maximal oxygen consumption test (VO2peak), VO2-verification bout and VO2kinetic test (duration 1,5h).
