The Influence of Lung Function and Respiratory Muscle Strength on Quadriceps Muscle Fatigability in COPD Patients Under Long-term Oxygen Therapy
Highlights
- •
Factors that influence muscle fatigability (MF) after exercise in COPD were studied.
- •
COPD patients with very severe (VSO) and severe lung obstruction (SO) were compared.
- •
VSO patients experience lower MF (less reduction in MVC) compared to SO.
- •
Dyspnea is higher in the VSO group at the beginning and end of the exercise.
