Effect of exercise on the quality of life and pulmonary function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of exercise therapy on activity of daily living (ADL) and lung function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (CＯPD).MethodsA total of 122 patients with moderate to severe COPD received routine treatment.The patients were divided into 2 groups randomly. Sixty-two patients in the experimental group received respiratory training on the basis of respiratory pathophysiology and aerobic exercise for 1 year. Medical research council scale (MRC) score, ADL score, 6-min walking distance, and lung function were measured．ResultsThe MRC grade after the exercise therapy was lower than that before the exercise therapy in the experimental group (P<0.01) and the control group (P<0.05). The ADL score and 6-min walking distance increased compared with that before the respiratory training (P<0.05)．After the respiratory training, the ADL score and 6-min walking distance had significant difference between the experimental group and the control group (P<0.05)．ConclusionLong term and individual exercise therapy can relieve dyspnea, and improve the exercise tolerance and quality of life in COPD patients.
