Cardiorespiratory Response During Whole Body Vibration Training in Patients With Chronic Lung Disease

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Interstitial Lung Disease (n=10)
Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (n=10)
Registration Number
NCT01898143
Lead Sponsor
Schön Klinik Berchtesgadener Land
Brief Summary

Whole body vibration training seems to be a useful adjunct in exercise training in patients with severe COPD. The basic principle relies on reflectory muscle contractions caused by a vibration stimulus. Until now the impact of whole body vibration training on cardiopulmonary parameters remained unknown. Therefore aim of this study is to investigate cardiopulmonary parameters during whole body vibration training in patients with chronic lung disease.

Study & Design

Study Type
INTERVENTIONAL
Study Design
SINGLE_GROUP
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
peak oxygen consumption (VO2 peak)during 1 exercise session

subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
heart rate (HR)during 1 exercise session

subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison.

minute ventilation (VE)during 1 exercise session

subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison.

perceived exertion for dyspnea and leg fatigue (Borg-scale)during 1 exercise session

subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison.

Alveolar-arterial oxygen difference (AaDO2)during 1 exercise session

subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison.

breathing frequency (BF)during 1 exercise session

subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison.

peak carbon-dioxide consumption (VCO2 peak)during 1 exercise session

subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison.
