Exercise-induced systemic effects in muscle-wasted patients with COPD
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to describe basal and exercise-induced systemic oxidative stress and acute inflammatory response in healthy subjects, non-muscle-wasted chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, and muscle-wasted COPD patients. This showed that both maximal and submaximal exercise encourage increased systemic inflammatory and oxidative responses in muscle-wasted CPOD patients compared with non-muscle-wasted patients and healthy subjects.

Use of facemask and mouthpiece to assess constant-workrate exercise capacity in COPD
Article Abstract:
A study aims to compare the response to constant-workrate cycling exercise between the mouthpiece and the facemask in-patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The result concludes that the mouthpiece and the facemask can be used with comparable results to determine the endurance time to constant-workrate cycling exercise inpatient with COPD.
