BackgroundMore accurate phenotyping of COPD is of great interest since it may have prognostic and therapeutic consequences. We attempted to explore the possible relationship between the extent of emphysema, as assessed by high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), and COPD severity. We also included some study variables involving exercise tolerance evaluation and peripheral muscle strength (PMS) measurement.MethodsSixty-four patients with COPD (mean age 64 ± 7 years) were enrolled in a prospective observational cross-sectional study. All patients underwent clinical and functional evaluations: assessment of dyspnea, body mass index (BMI), health status assessment, spirometry testing, and arterial blood gas analysis. The extent of emphysema was graded using HRCT. Functional capacity was evaluated by a cardiopulmonary maximal exercise testing (CPET), the shuttle walking test, and by estimation of PMS.ResultsHalf of the study patients had an emphysematous phenotype. There was a significant correlation between the score derived from analysis of HRCT images and BMI and respiratory functional parameters, as well as VO2 max (maximal oxygen uptake) and chest pull 1RM (1 rep max). Compared with subjects with a nonemphysematous phenotype, those with an emphysematous phenotype showed a lower BMI, a reduced PMS, and displayed a lower power at CPET. Significant differences in lung function tests were found for diffusing capacity and hyperinflation. No significant differences in quality of life were observed between the two study groups.ConclusionsCompared with subjects with a nonemphysematous phenotype, subjects with an emphysematous phenotype has a different profile in terms of BMI, lung function, PMS, and exercise capacity.

Exercise training in mitochondrial myopathy: A randomized controlled trial

et al. 2005

Patients with mitochondrial myopathies (MM) usually suffer from exercise intolerance due to their impaired oxidative capacity and physical deconditioning. We evaluated the effects of a 12-week supervised randomized rehabilitation program involving endurance training in patients with MM. Twenty MM patients were assigned to a training or control group. For three nonconsecutive days each week, patients combined cycle exercise at 70% of their peak work rate with three upper-body weight-lifting exercises performed at 50% of maximum capacity. Training increased maximal oxygen uptake (28.5%), work output (15.5%), and minute ventilation (40%), endurance performance (62%), walking distance in shuttle walking test (+95 m), and peripheral muscle strength (32%-62%), and improved Nottingham Health Profile scores (21.47%) and clinical symptoms. Control MM patients did not change from baseline. Results show that our exercise program is an adequate training strategy for patients with mitochondrial myopathy.

“…18 This type of test measures the maximum amount of weight that can be lifted in a single movement, using a multi-station weightlifting machine (Fitness Classic Centre, Kettler, Postfach, Germany). Five simple exercises (chest pull, butterfly, shoulder press, leg extension and leg curls) engaging the largest muscles of the lower and upper limbs were selected.…”

Exercise Training in Patients With Chronic Respiratory Failure Due to Kyphoscoliosis: A Randomized Controlled Trial

et al. 2013

BACKGROUND: Research has provided evidence for the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of exercise training in patients with COPD. However, little is known about the impact of exercise training in patients with chronic respiratory failure due to kyphoscoliosis. We evaluated the effect of an exercise training program on exercise capacity, muscle strength, dyspnea, and quality-of-life indices in subjects with chronic respiratory failure due to kyphoscoliosis. METHODS: The 34 subjects were clinically stable, had been receiving nighttime home mechanical ventilation for > 6 months, and were randomly assigned to the exercise group (n ‫؍‬ 17) or the control group (n ‫؍‬ 17). The exercise group conducted cycle and strength training on 3 non-consecutive days per week for 12 weeks. We measured pulmonary function, exercise capacity, peripheral muscle strength, dyspnea scores, and quality of life. RESULTS: Statistical analysis was carried out on the data from 16 subjects in the exercise group and in 11 subjects in the control group. Three of the lung-function parameters in the exercise group significantly changed: P aCO 2 (P ‫؍‬ .04), inspiratory pressure (P ‫؍‬ .03), and expiratory pressure (P ‫؍‬ .04); and endurance time (P ‫؍‬ .002) and shuttle walk distance (P ‫؍‬ .001) increased significantly. The exercise group had significantly greater improvements in peripheral muscle strength, dyspnea, and quality of life. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with chronic respiratory failure due to kyphoscoliosis, exercise training improved exercise capacity, peripheral muscle strength, dyspnea, and quality of life.
