Q

How does Improvement in Skeletal Muscle Function after exercise training lead to gains in exercise capacity despite absence of changes in lung function?

A
  • Improved oxidative capacity
  • Improved Efficiency of the skeletal muscles lead to reduced ventilatory requirement for submaximal work rate
  • Reduce dynamic hyperinflation, lowers dyspnea

Q

How does Hypoxia directly/indirectly increase pulmonary ventilation?

A

Directly
- augmenting peripheral chemoreceptor output indirectly
- through stimulation of lactic acid production

20
Q

How does the buffering of Lactate create a gas exchange limitation?

A
  • increase in CO2 production and acidosis stimulates the carotid bodies
21
Q

What does supplemental O2 therapy during exercise do for people with COPD? How? Leads to?

A

Do
- higher intensity training
How
- Decrease in pulmonary artery pressure
- carotid body inhibition
- Decrease in lactate production
Leads to
- Decrease in respiratory rate
- reduction in dynamic hyperinflation

22
Q

What is the main way the cardiovascular system is affected by chronic respiratory disease?

A
  • increase in right ventricular afterload
23
Q

What contributes to cardiac limitations in people with Chronic Respiratory Disease?

A
  • Elevated pulmonary vascular resistance from hypoxic vasoconstriction
  • Vascular Injury and/or Remodeling
  • Increased Effective Pulmonary Vascular Resistance Due to Erythrocytosis
24
Q

How does Exercise Training improve cardiac limitations in people with COPD?

A
  • improvements in cardiovascular function
25
Q

What might cause peripheral muscle dysfunction in people with Chronic Respiratory Disease?

A

Single or Combined Effect of:
- inactivity-induced deconditioning
- systemic inflammation
- oxidative stress
- smoking
- blood-gas distrubances
- nutritional impairments
- low anabolic hormone levels
- aging
- corticosteroid use

26
Q

What is muscle dysfunction usually reported as?

A
  • Fatigue
27
Q

What would lactic acidosis and retention of CO2 result in?

A
  • change in pH
28
Q

What places COPD patients’ respiratory muscles at a mechanical disadvantage?

A
  • Static and Dynamic Hyperinflation
29
Q

What is compromised in people with COPD? functional inspiratory muscle strength or muscle endurance?

A
  • BOTH
30
Q

What does respiratory muscle weakness contribute to in COPD?

A
  • Hypercapnia
  • Dyspnea
  • Nocturnal Oxygen Desaturation
  • Reduced Exercise Performance
31
Q

What is the aim of endurance training for people with COPD?

A
  • Condition muscles of ambulation
  • improve cardiorespiratory fitness
  • increase physical activity associated with reduction in breathlessness and fatigue
32
Q

What is the most common form of endurance exercise training?

A
  • cycling
  • walking
33
Q

What is the common prescription of endurance training for individuals with chronic respiratory disease?

A

- >60% maximal work rate
- 20-60 minutes per session

34
Q

What training intensity is the target for endurance training?

A

Borg dyspnea or fatigue score
- 4-6

35
Q

What does biking exercise do compared to walking? why?

A

Less Exercise-induced oxygen desaturation
- greater specific load on quadriceps muscles

36
Q

What is interval training?

A
  • modification of endurance training
  • high-intensity exercise regularly interspersed with periods of rest
37
Q

Why would interval training be used?

A
  • Maintain training effects of endurance exercise in cachectic individuals with severe COPD
38
Q

Why would you use Resistance / Strength Training for individuals with COPD?

A

Resistance
- Potential to improve muscle mass and strength
Strength
- less dyspnea during exercise period
both
- can be easier to tolerate than endurance constant-load training

39
Q

Why is the Pressure-generating capacity of the inspiratory pump muscles reduced in COPD?

A
  • Deleterious effect of pulmonary hyperinflation
  • shortens and flattens the diaphragm
40

A
  • exercise intolerance
  • perception of dyspnea
41
Q

How does Inspiratory Muscle Training Improve symptoms of COPD?

A
  • Increase Exercise Capacity
  • Reduce Dyspnea
42

Has the use of anabolic hormonal supplementation been proven to improve the effects of exercise training?

A
  • No
  • has not received sufficient study to consider as routine inclusion in pulmonary rehabilitation programs
