Muscle Metabolism and Oxygenation During Localized Fatigue-exercise in COPD

Muscle Oxygenation and Metabolism in Response to a Localized Fatigue-inducing Exercise in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

• Status: Unknown
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 20 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Laval University · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 50 Years – 75 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a localized exercise, in which cardiorespiratory demand is reduced, will result in greater limb muscle fatigue in patients with COPD as a consequence of muscle oxygenation and muscle metabolism disturbances.

Conditions

• Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Fatiguing exercise	All participants (patients and healthy subjects) will perform the exercise both under normoxic (FiO2 = 0.21) and hyperoxic conditions (FiO2 = 100%)
