DISABIL REHABIL , 2005, vol. 27, n° 10, p. 571-581 Doc n°: 120724 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : FD331 - BRONCHITE CHRONIQUE - BRONCHIOLITE Purpose. To investigate effects of decreased training frequency in patients with COPD. Methods. Forty-three COPD patients participated in a controlled study. The intervention group ( 30 patients) trained 3 times a week during 3 months and once a week during 6 months. Before, after 3 and 9 months all patients performed walking tests, cycle ergometer tests and responded questionnaires on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) (SGRQ, SF-36). Results. At 9 months compared to 3 months there were no changes in distance walked in the groups. Both groups decreased their VO2peak and the training group deteriorated in HRQoL. At 9 months compared to baseline the training group showed increased distance walked compared to the control group. In the disease-specific SGRQ the training group tended to improve their activity score while the control group tended to deteriorate in total score. In Langue : ANGLAIS |
