About

We have as hypothesis that the aquatic aerobic physical training program can help promote beneficial adaptations on the cardiovascular, respiratory and systemic inflammation variables, functional capacity and quality of life in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (pulmonary emphysema).
