Q: What is COPD?
![Page 3: What Is COPD? Summary, Exercise & Guidelines](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549a18c2b47959a7498b4e09/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
A: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is
characterized by persistently limited airflow. It is
associated with an enhanced chronic inflammatory
response in the airways and lungs to noxious
particles or gases. This can lead to tissue destruction
in the lungs (and emphysema), and disrupt normal
repair (causing fibrosis of the small airways)

Q: Why might exercise beuseful for patients with
COPD?
![Page 5: What Is COPD? Summary, Exercise & Guidelines](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549a18c2b47959a7498b4e09/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
A: Individuals with COPD suffer from a progressive
decline in exercise capacity, muscular strength and
endurance. They display alterations in skeletal
muscle morphology that compromise the
maintenance of muscle mass. They often display
comorbidities, including cardiovascular disease,
diabetes and hypertension

Q: What are the riskfactors for COPD?
![Page 7: What Is COPD? Summary, Exercise & Guidelines](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549a18c2b47959a7498b4e09/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
A: Risk factors for developing COPD include: a
history of smoking and passive smoking, working in
occupations with exposure to dust and fumes
(particularly biological dust), exposure to biomass
fuels, advanced age, asthma, being underweight and
the presence of chronic cough/phlegm
![Page 8: What Is COPD? Summary, Exercise & Guidelines](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549a18c2b47959a7498b4e09/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Q: What is pulmonaryrehabilitation?
![Page 9: What Is COPD? Summary, Exercise & Guidelines](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549a18c2b47959a7498b4e09/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
A: Pulmonary rehabilitation is an evidence-based
intervention for patients with chronic respiratory
diseases. It is designed to reduce symptoms,
optimize functional status, increase participation and
reduce health-care costs by stabilizing or reversing
systemic manifestations of the disease
![Page 10: What Is COPD? Summary, Exercise & Guidelines](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549a18c2b47959a7498b4e09/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Q: Is aerobic exerciseuseful for patients with
COPD?
![Page 11: What Is COPD? Summary, Exercise & Guidelines](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549a18c2b47959a7498b4e09/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
A: Aerobic exercise training in individuals with
COPD is able to increase tidal volume and reduce
respiratory rate, thereby producing a more
efficient exercise breathing pattern, as well as
improve VO2-max
![Page 12: What Is COPD? Summary, Exercise & Guidelines](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549a18c2b47959a7498b4e09/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Q: Is interval traininguseful for individuals with
COPD?
![Page 13: What Is COPD? Summary, Exercise & Guidelines](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549a18c2b47959a7498b4e09/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
A: Interval training appears able to
improve lactate threshold,
maximum work load and quality of
life in patients with COPD
![Page 14: What Is COPD? Summary, Exercise & Guidelines](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549a18c2b47959a7498b4e09/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Q: Is resistance-traininguseful for individuals with
COPD?
![Page 15: What Is COPD? Summary, Exercise & Guidelines](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549a18c2b47959a7498b4e09/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
A: Resistance training can improve
dyspnea, activities of daily living,
strength, 6-minute walking distance,
maximum workload, and health-
related quality of life in individuals
with COPD
![Page 16: What Is COPD? Summary, Exercise & Guidelines](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549a18c2b47959a7498b4e09/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Q: Is inspiratory muscletraining useful for
individuals with COPD?
![Page 17: What Is COPD? Summary, Exercise & Guidelines](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549a18c2b47959a7498b4e09/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
A: Inspiratory muscle training exercise can
increase inspiratory muscle strength,
inspiratory muscle endurance, exercise
capacity, maximum work rate, and
dyspnea, which may be beneficial for
individuals with COPD
![Page 18: What Is COPD? Summary, Exercise & Guidelines](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549a18c2b47959a7498b4e09/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Q: What are currentexercise guidelines for
individuals with COPD?
![Page 19: What Is COPD? Summary, Exercise & Guidelines](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549a18c2b47959a7498b4e09/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
A: Exercise training is recommended in
normal treatment for COPD, with
rehabilitation periods involving high-
intensity lower body aerobic exercise
and strength-training interventions
