Isoinertial Training in Patients With COPD
Sponsor: Universidad Manuela Beltrán
Summary
Isoinertial training is emerging as a potentially effective strategy to improve strength and functionality in older people diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), due to its influence on muscle mass and neuromuscular efficiency. COPD is characterized by systemic alterations, including peripheral muscle dysfunction; which contributes to patient functional limitation, and reduces patients' quality of life. Isoinertial training may improve the physiological response to effort, and also promote functional performance in this population. Hence, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of an isoinertial training program on muscle strength and functional capacity in patients with COPD during an 8-week intervention.

Interventions
Isoinertial training
Supervised isoinertial training: * Participants will perform a supervised isoinertial training program during 8 weeks of follow-up * The intervention will have a frequency of 2 to 3 weekly sessions * The program will include exercises aimed at strengthening the upper and lower limbs using a isoinertial device * The training load will be progressive to each participant and adjusted according to the individual response. * The program will be carried out in combination with usual pulmonary rehabilitation care.
Traditional rehabilitation (control group)
Traditional treatment (control group) * Participants involved in the usual pulmonary rehabilitation program during 8 weeks with a frequency of 2-3 sessions per week. * This program includes low- to moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, joint mobility activities and general strengthening exercises using conventional resources according to the clinic's rehabilitation protocol. * No isoinertial training
