Effects of aerobic training combined with respiratory muscle stretching on the functional exercise capacity and thoracoabdominal kinematics in patients with COPD: a randomized and controlled trial
Juliano T Wada,Erickson Borges-Santos,Desiderio Cano Porras,Denise M. Paisani,Alberto Cukier,Adriana Claudia Lunardi,Celso R. F. Carvalho +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that aerobic training combined with respiratory muscle stretching increases the functional exercise capacity with decreased dyspnea in patients with COPD and is associated with an increased efficacy of the respiratory muscles and participation of the ABD compartment.
