Registration Number
NCT06471439
Lead Sponsor
Hacettepe University
Brief Summary

COPD presents not only respiratory symtoms but also vascular or muscle dysfunction. Exercise limitation is observed in COPD. Especially, decreased exercise performance related to vascular and fatique in quadriceps muscle. Exercise training is important for aerobic performance increasing. Generally results show exercise training with both lower limb. Increaed arterial stiffness and fatigue are observed in COPD. One leg exercise training result is not enough to highlight these parameters.

Three types single leg exercise intervantion will be applied. Exercise capacity, muscle strength, lung function, electromyography, lactate and quality of life will be measured.

Detailed Description

Three types single leg exercise intervantion will applied to COPD patients that devided three groups. One leg continuous exercise training will be aplied to one group. One leg HIIT exercise training will be aplied to other group. One leg resistance exercise training will be aplied to the last group.

Exercise capacity and muscle strength are assesed. Lung function is measured. Electormyography is recorded. Lactate and quality of life are measured.
