The few studies that have compared endurance training (ET) to strength training (ST) have produced conflicting results. PURPOSE: To compare changes in physical function, HRQL, and lean mass in COPD patients completing both an ET and ST program. METHODS: Eleven mildly diseased patients completed an ET program, and subsequently, a ST program. RESULTS: Pulmonary function remained stable over the five year period. ET and ST increased six-minute walk distance. ET, but not ST, increased self-reported physical function, chair rise time, SF-36 physical component score, and Chronic Respiratory Disease Questionnaire (CRDQ) fatigue score. ST, but not ET, increased stair climb time. ET and ST failed to change SF-36 mental component score; CRDQ dyspnea, emotion, or mastery scores; and arm or leg lean mass. CONCLUSION: Both training methods will improve objective measures of physical function. However, an ET program results in significant improvements in self-reported physical function and HRQL, whereas ST does not.","abstract_html":"Endurance and strength training may both lead to improvements in physical function and health-related quality of life (HRQL) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients.
