- W43942118 abstract "ENGLISH) The benefits of exercise training for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are well-documented. In South Africa, exercise programmes for COPD patients are limited and often expensive and inaccessible to the broader community. The purpose of this study was to assess the responses of COPD patients to an exercise programme and to determine if the same results can be obtained through a less costly programme. In the primary programme of the study, 22 subjects were subjected to 12 weeks of exercise training. Each subject underwent comprehensive preand post-intervention assessments, which included the measurement of overall health status by a physician, level of dyspnoea, forced expiratory lung function, exercise capacity, body mass index and health-related quality of life. Exercise sessions included aerobic and strength training exercises and involved three, hour-long exercise sessions a week. In the modified programme, 18 subjects were randomly divided into an experimental and control group. Eleven subjects were included in the experimental group and seven subjects in the control group. Subjects had to complete 32, hour-long exercise sessions in a 10-week period. The experimental group’s exercise programme was adapted so that no specialised equipment was used, while the control group exercised in a well-equipped exerciseand rehabilitation centre. All subjects were subjected to the same preand post-intervention assessment as in the primary programme. In the primary programme, there were significant improvements in the physician’s evaluation of overall health status (p < 0.0001), level of dyspnoea (p < 0.05), exercise capacity (p < 0.000001) and health-related quality of life (p < 0.001). No significant changes occurred in the forced expiratory lung function and body mass index. In the modified programme, there were significant improvements in the physician’s evaluation of overall health status (p < 0.000001), level of dyspnoea (p < 0.0001), exercise capacity (p < 0.000001) and healthrelated quality of life (p < 0.001). Consistent with the primary programme, no significant changes occurred in the forced expiratory lung function and body mass" @default.
