Brief Summary

Background: The pulmonary rehabilitation effects on various outcomes of COPD are well known. However, they may be lost over time due to poor adherence to therapy with absence of regular exercise maintenance in long term, disease progression, comorbidities, falls incidence and higher exacerbations frequency. Currently, the main focus is to make the patient more active and ensure the benefits maintenance. However, few studies have been concerned with the aim of to investigate the long-term effect of this intervention and the relationship of the change promoted in important outcomes of the disease with its morbidity and mortality. Design: Non-controlled clinical trial, prospective and longitudinal. Setting: Outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation program in Florianopolis, Brazil Subjects: Patients with COPD (GOLD II-IV). Interventions: Pulmonary rehabilitation program (PRP) based on physical training, conducted over 24 sessions supervised, three times a week, including aerobic training in treadmill and resistance training for upper and lower limbs. Main measures: Before, post-PRP, 6 months post-PRP and 12 months post-PRP will be measured Spirometry or Total Body Plethysmography, Triaxial Accelerometry by Dynaport Activity Monitor, Glittre ADL-Test to evaluated functional capacity and functional performance, Six-Minute Walk Test distance on tracks of 20 and 30 meters, muscle oxygenation variables by NIRS PortaLite®, force platform NeuroCom® SMART Equitest®, Timed Up and Go Test, Berg Balance Scale, Activities-specific Balance Confidence, Falls Efficacy Scale - International - Brasil, London Chest Activity of Daily Living score, Modified Medical Research Council score, Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire score, COPD Assessment Test score and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Behavioural Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire-2, Basic Psychological Needs in Exercise Scale, General self-efficacy scale, COPD self-efficacy scale, Pulmonary Rehabilitation Adapted Index of Self-Efficacy. The death cases and numbers of exacerbations and hospitalizations will be measured by monthly phone calls after PRP.

Study Arms (1)

Pulmonary rehabilitation

EXPERIMENTAL

The PRP (24-session, three times for week) will be delivered according to ATS/ERS (Spruit et al, 2013),

Other: Pulmonary rehabilitation

Interventions

Patients will perform continuous aerobic training (treadmill walking) during 30min (60% of the 6MWT mean speed) and progression according to dyspnea (4-6 of the modified Borg scale). Upper limbs resistance training will be performed using the modified diagonals from the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation method (2 sets of 2min). Lower limbs strength training will be performed for quadriceps and triceps sural (2 sets of 10 repetitions), with progression when the patients report that the exercise are ´easy´. All the muscle exercised and the breathing accessory muscles will be stretched for 30s. Eleven educational sessions will be delivered addressing topics related to COPD self-management.
