Potential Effects of 6 vs 12-weeks of Physical Training on Cardiac Autonomic Function and Functional Capacity in COPD

Universidade Federal de Sao Carlos·interventional·Posted Jun 28, 2013·Updated Jan 10, 2014

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Physical Exercise Training Program Exercise for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Completed, enrolled 32 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

To contrast the potential effects of physical exercise training program (PTP) of a 6 versus 12 weeks on cardiac autonomic modulation by linear and non-linear heart rate variability (HRV) indices and functional capacity in moderate-to-severe COPD patients.

Interventions

Physical Exercise Training Program Exerciseother

Physical Exercise Training Program Exercise training was conducted in three times a week, during 12 weeks at high-intensity targets. Each session consisted of a five minute warm up (walking) at 2 km/h and 30 minutes with an intensity targets set at 70% of the peak speed rate. The increase of intensity was 0.5Km/h when the patient scored less than 4 point of Borg scale (moderate to intense effort) during each session. All evaluations were done at 6th week, in order to analyze the progression of outcomes and exactly adjust the intensity of training.
