Brief Summary

IV applied during high-intensity exercise unloads the respiratory musculature, enhancing oxygen supply to the peripheral musculature, providing longer exercise time and reducing fatigue symptoms in patients diagnosed with COPD and HF.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To evaluate the acute effects of the bilevel during constant load exercise on ventilatory, cardiocirculatory mechanical responses, muscle and brain oxygenation, endothelial function and exercise tolerance in patients with COPD-IC.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
It is hoped that the bilevel can improve exercise intolerance in the face of COPD-IC, reduce ventilatory and circulatory mechanical changes, and also improve endothelial function and central and peripheral oxygen supply in these patients.
