Threshold pressure training, breathing pattern, and exercise performance in chronic airflow obstruction.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effects of six weeks of threshold pressure inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on inspiratory muscle performance, breathing pattern and exercise performance were studied in eight patients with severe airflow obstruction. The results indicated that IMT improved inspiratory muscle performance but did not affect exercise performance or breathing pattern during maximal exercise.

A Numerical Simulation of Inspiratory Airflow in Human Airways during Exercise at Sea Level and at High Altitude
At high altitudes, the air pressure is much lower than it is at sea level and contains fewer oxygen molecules and less oxygen is taken in at each breath. This requires deeper and rapid breathing to get the same amount of oxygen into the blood stream compared to breathing in air at sea level. Exercises increase the oxygen demand and make breathing more difficult at high altitude. In this study, ...
متن کاملControlled trial of respiratory muscle training in chronic airflow limitation.
BACKGROUND Whether respiratory muscle training is of benefit to patients with chronic airflow limitation is controversial. The objective of the study was to determine the effect of resistance breathing training on physiological and functional measures in patients with chronic airflow obstruction. METHODS The design was a randomised, double blind, controlled trial with a six month follow up. E...

STUDY OBJECTIVES Current options to enhance exercise performance in patients with COPD are limited. This study compared the effects of high flows of humidified oxygen to conventional low-flow oxygen (LFO) delivery at rest and during exercise in patients with COPD. DESIGN Prospective, nonrandomized, nonblinded study. SETTING Outpatient exercise laboratory. PATIENTS Ten patients with COPD, ...
متن کاملInspiratory muscle training in chronic airflow limitation: comparison of two different training loads with a threshold device.
The usefulness of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) in chronic airflow limitation (CAL) patients is a controversial issue, mainly due to differences in the training load. To further evaluate this aspect, we studied the effect of the magnitude of the load using a threshold pressure trainer. Ten CAL patients (5 males, 5 females) 67 +/- 2 yrs (mean +/- SEM) and forced expiratory volume in one seco...
متن کاملHyperinflation and its management in COPD
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by poorly reversible airflow limitation. The pathological hallmarks of COPD are inflammation of the peripheral airways and destruction of lung parenchyma or emphysema. The functional consequences of these abnormalities are expiratory airflow limitation and dynamic hyperinflation, which then increase the elastic load of the respirator...
