Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (n=10) Clinical Trial
Official title:
Cardiorespiratory Response During Whole Body Vibration Training in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) or Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)
Whole body vibration training seems to be a useful adjunct in exercise training in patients with severe COPD. The basic principle relies on reflectory muscle contractions caused by a vibration stimulus. Until now the impact of whole body vibration training on cardiopulmonary parameters remained unknown. Therefore aim of this study is to investigate cardiopulmonary parameters during whole body vibration training in patients with chronic lung disease.

| Primary | peak oxygen consumption (VO2 peak) | subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison. | during 1 exercise session | No |
| Secondary | heart rate (HR) | subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison. | during 1 exercise session | No |
| Secondary | minute ventilation (VE) | subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison. | during 1 exercise session | No |
| Secondary | perceived exertion for dyspnea and leg fatigue (Borg-scale) | subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison. | during 1 exercise session | No |
| Secondary | Alveolar-arterial oxygen difference (AaDO2) | subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison. | during 1 exercise session | No |
