Details and patient eligibility

About

The purpose of this study is to determine, if it exists, a relation between plateau heart rate from the last 3 minutes of the 6-minute stepper test and heart rate from first ventilatory threshold from cardiopulmonary exercise testing in order to individualise pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with mild to moderate chronicle obstructive pulmonary disease.

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Trial design

105 participants in 1 patient group

Prospective observational cohort

Description:

Every patient referred to pulmonary rehabilitation program will be eligible. They will perform cardiopulmonary exercise testing prior to join rehabilitation program. During the first session of pulmonary rehabilitation, they will perform 2 6-minute stepper test with a rest of 20 minutes minimum between each test.

Treatment:

Other: 2 times : 6-minute stepper test with a rest of 20min between each test.
