Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
NHLBI/WHO Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive LungDisease (GOLD) Definition:
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is characterized byairflow limitation that is not fully reversible.
It is a preventable and treatable disease with some significant
extrapulmonary manifestations.

Targets of Exercise Training
• Improving aerobic function of ambulation muscles
• Reducing ventilatoryrequirement and respiratory rate during exercise
• Prolonging expiration time
• Reducing dynamic hyperinflation and dyspnea
Casaburi et al. N Engl J Med 2009
Content Rehabilitation Program
• Exercise Training
– Endurance exercise to improve cardiorespiratory fitness
– Resistance training to improve muscular strength and endurance (peripheral and respiratory muscles)
• Supplemental interventions during exercise training
– Oxygen
– Heliox
• Breathing exercises
• Occupational therapy
• Nutritional advise
• Psychological support
• Patient-education / self-management (inactivity)

Rehabilitation, the evidence: Health care resources
Rehabilitation: the evidence
Evidence from systematic review of meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (level la) • Improvements in exercise tolerance • Clinically relevant improvement in health related
quality of life (HRQoL).
Evidence from at least one RCT(level lb) • Reductions in number of days spent in hospital • Pulmonary rehabilitation is cost effective
Exercise training, the core of rehabilitation
How do we train patients with severe airflow
obstruction, dynamic hyperinflation and
complaints of dyspnea on exertion?
Knowing exercise limitations to guide training
How to train the ventilatory limited patient ?
Improve the lung function / maximum
ventilatory capacity
Reduce the ventilatory needs
– Increase the delivery
– Reduce the demand
Improve lung function

- Enhance the stress to the muscle for a given VO2
- Reduce the amount of muscle mass at work
- Shorten the bouts of exercise to keep ventilation lower
than needed in steady state (interval training)
