| contents | Adaptations in limb muscle function following pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with COPD - a review André Nyberg João Carvalho Kim-Ly Bui Didier Saey François Maltais Medicina COPD Exercise Muscle function Aerobic exercises Resistance training Even though chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is primarily a disease of the respiratory system, limb muscle dysfunction characterized by muscle weakness, reduced muscle endurance and higher muscle fatigability, is a common secondary consequence and a major systemic manifestation of the disease. Muscle dysfunction is especially relevant in COPD because it is related to important clinical outcomes such as mortality, quality of life and exercise intolerance, independently of lung function impairment. Thus, improving muscle function is considered an important therapeutic goal in COPD management. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a multidisciplinary, evidence-based and comprehensive approach used to promote better self-management of the disease, minimize symptom burden, optimize functional status, and increase participation in activities of daily life. Exercise training, including cardiovascular and muscle exercises, is the cornerstone of PR and is considered the best available strategy to improve exercise tolerance and muscle function among patients with COPD. This paper addresses the various components of exercise training within PR used to improve limb muscle function in COPD, providing clinicians and health-care professionals with an overview and description of these various exercise modalities and of their effects on limb muscle function. Guidance and recommendations to help design optimal limb muscle training regimens for these patients are also presented. 2016 artículo científico 0873-2159 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=169749132007 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1697 Revista Portuguesa de Pneumología application/pdf Sociedade Portuguesa de Pneumologia Revista Portuguesa de Pneumología (Portugal) Num.6 Vol.22 |
