What are the aerobic and strength training prescriptions for COPD?   Aerobic: Walking or cycle ergometer; Warm-up before and cool-down after exercise - Strength training: Train each muscle group (may be multiple groups) 2-4 sets  
🗑
What is a recommended consideration for aerobic exercise for COPD pts?   Oxygen administered if SpO2 < 88%, Goal is have SpO2 >90% during exercise, Modifications to duration & frequency p.r.n.5-10 min sessions vs. 20-30 min  
🗑
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
