We selected patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, former smokers of both genders, who completed a pulmonary rehabilitation program with a minimum of eight weeks
Patients who did not complete the eight-week rehabilitation program, patients who require oxygen during ergospirometry, or who are unable to participate in the study, were excluded from the study. Patients with mild impairment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, or with associated heart disease, understand or perform the research procedures

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method We hope to establish a correlation of heart rate variability with ergospirometric data. The frequency data will be evaluated by the Polar® RS800 CX frequencymeter and the VO2, VE, VE / VO2 and VCO2 values ??obtained by means of ergospirometry. We expect that the lower the heart rate variability the greater the metabolic expenditure.
