Abstract
Abstract: Purpose: To determine the effect of high repet-itive single limb training on exercise capacity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease women.
Methods: Forty women presented with moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (FEV1/FVC <0.70) were se-lected from outpatient clinic at Chest Department Al-Kasr El-Ainy Hospital, Sadr Al-Abbasia Hospital, and with age ranged from 40-50 years old. Six min walk test, and other vital signs as (blood pressure, pulse rate, oxygen saturation and borg scale) were measured pre and post training program. Patient was assigned as one group received high repetitive single limb training, (U.L/L.L) in addition to medical treatment for three times/week for 8 weeks.
Results: The results showed a significant increase in measured parameters with a percent of improvement in distance by 2.65%, oxygen saturation by 1.01% and borg scale by 25.32% pre and post training.
Conclusion: High repetitive single limb training was effective in improving exercise capacity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease women.
