Understanding of what constitutes a training load adequate to induce training effects in
patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is still evolving. The present …

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of interval training (3-min intervals) with
continuous training on peak exercise capacity (W peak), physiological response, functional …

Background In patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), interval
exercise has gained recent attention as a possible means of achieving greater physiological …

Limited information is available regarding the physiological responses to different types of
exercise training in patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The …

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of interval training (IT) and
