Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Exercise

Summary

COPD presents not only respiratory symtoms but also vascular or muscle dysfunction. Exercise limitation is observed in COPD. Especially, decreased exercise performance related to vascular and fatique in quadriceps muscle. Exercise training is important for aerobic performance increasing. Generally results show exercise training with both lower limb. Increaed arterial stiffness and fatigue are observed in COPD. One leg exercise training result is not enough to highlight these parameters. Three types single leg exercise intervantion will be applied. Exercise capacity, muscle strength, lung function, electromyography, lactate and quality of life will be measured.

Eligibility

Min Age: 40 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is comparing different types of single-leg exercise training to see which is most effective for people with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a lung condition that makes breathing difficult). **You may be eligible if...** - You have COPD and are receiving physiotherapy - You are able to cooperate with exercise and testing - You do not have severe bone, joint, or nerve problems - You do not have severe heart disease - You volunteer to participate **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are currently having a COPD flare-up (exacerbation) or had one in the past month - You have severely low blood oxygen levels (PaO2 below 55 mmHg) - You have significant musculoskeletal or neurological problems that affect testing - You have severe heart disease Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
