Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Endurance time, which will be evaluated by constant work rate exercise test during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET)
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
i) Symptom (SGRQ score: Total domain, Symptom, Activity, Impact) ii) Respiratory function (RV, RV/TLC) iii) During CPET, which will consist of incremental exercise test or constant work rate exercise test the following parameters: oxygen uptake (VO2), minute ventilation (VE), ventilatory equivalent, physiologic dead space/ tidal volume ratio (VD/VT), expiratory tidal volume (VTex), mean expiratory flow (VTex/Te), inspiratory tidal volume (VTin), VTin- VTex, ratio of inspiratory time to total respiratory cycle time (Ti/Ttot), dyspnea (Borg scale), and oxygen extraction (the difference between inspired and expired O2 concentrations (delta FO2)) iv) Respiratory muscle pressure: maximum expiratory pressure (MEP) v) 6-minute walk test: 6-minute walk distance, and Ti/Ttot vi) Oxygen saturation of peripheral artery (SpO2) during the night vii) Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10)
