| What is the appropriate aerobic intensity for COPD pts? | For mild COPD: RPE 12-14 (moderate) RPE 14-16 (vigorous) For moderate to severe COPD: 60%-80% of peak work rate or RPE 10-13 for dyspnea from graded exercise test |
| What are the freq and duration for aerobic exercise for COPD pts? | > 3-5 d/wk of continuous or intermittent exercise; 6 wk ex program w/ group ex beneficial; 20-60 min/d, 20-90 min/session If debilitated, starts sessions shorter, w/ more freq rests, > 30 min Interval training if pt can't achieve time and/or intensity |
| What type of equipment is best for strength training in COPD pts? | Free weights, and machine weights, band resistance, body weight, e.g, stairs or squats Balance training, stretching e.g, modified yoga for stretching with coordinated Breathing |
| What is the proper frequency for strength training in COPD pts? | 2-3 times per week, at least 48-h apart; rest intervals of 2-3 min between sets; |
| What is the proper duration for strength training in COPD pts? | Intensity: 60%-80% of 1 RM Deconditioned patients: 10-15 reps at RPE 12-14 2-4 sets of 6-12 reps at 50%-85% of 1-RM intensity Begin with lower resistance and higher reps to work on muscle endurance, progress to higher weight, less reps |
| What are the effects of walking on COPD pts? | • Study: Effects of walking COPD patients vs. healthy • Evaluated cardiac and respiratory responses – EMG lower limb muscles during walking • Results: Walking impact on COPD increased muscle fatigue |
| What are the effects of exercise training on COPD pts? | ↑ physical activity can improve VO2, work capacity and anxiety |
| What are the benefits of exercise for COPD pts? | – CV reconditioning – Reduced ventilatory requirement at a given work rate – Improved ventilatory efficiency – Reduced hyperinflation – Desensitization to dyspnea – ↑ strength, flexibility, standing balance – Improved body composition |
| What are the effects of intermittent exercise for COPD pts? | hemodynamic adaption w/ intermittent HIT in COPD pts, ↑ VO2, CO & ventilation during 1st min of ex – Remained stable - Results: High intensity 1 min bouts of intermittent work exercise are well tolerated w/o pushing pulmonary arterial pressure too high |
