Official Title: Eccentric Cycling Exercise During Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Patients With Cardiopulmonary Diseases
Brief Summary:
Eccentric cycling exercise (ECC) allows training at low metabolic costs and may therefore be valuable for patients with pulmonary vascular disease (PVD). For these patients, regular exercise training has an evidence level 1A recommendation in the current guidelines. Exercise training during longer and regular periods provides chronic adaptation, for which ECC was recently found to have a greater effectiveness than CON by increasing muscle strength, hypertrophy, six-minute walking distance and furthermore, by…
