Study aim
-
evaluation of effect of aerobic exercise on the leptin/adiponectin ratio in COPD patients in Kerman If aerobic exercise activity increases the Leptin/Adiponectin ratio and respiratory function in patients with COPD, regular aerobic exercise can be recommended to improve respiratory function in these patients.
-
Design
-
This study was conducted on 22 patients with COPD, patients randomly divided into two groups of 11 people.Control group and sports activities group.
-
Settings and conduct
-
The program for aerobic exercise in this study uses Treadmill, 3 times per week for 8 weeks, and the duration of physical activity per session is between 30 and 40 minutes based on the patient's ability. Prior to each patient, an incremental test is performed
During exercise, SaO2 patients are continuously controlled and in the event of fatigue and inability of the patient to interrupt exercise. If the SaO2 drops to less than 88%, the patient receives oxygen and if the hypoxia is not corrected, the activity is discontinued and the patient is excluded from the study.
The blood sample was taken before and after exercise, and the Leptin and Adiponectin levels were measured and Leptin/Adiponectin ratio was measured and compared before and after exercise.
