ABSTRACT
@#ObjectiveTo observe the effect of exercise training on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) stable patients in community. MethodsTraditional Chinese exercise prescription was given to 20 COPD patients. They were assessed with 6-minute walk distance (6MWD), the Borg scale and the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) before and after the training. ResultsThe Borg scales dropped from (4.45±2.04) to (3.15±2.13) (P<0.05). 6MWD increased from (370.32±74.48) m to (403.75±76.15) m (P<0.05). SGRQ scores also showed statistical significant difference (P<0.05). ConclusionExercise training can improve the tolerance and decrease dyspnea in COPD patients in stable stage. It also can improve the quality of life.
