Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Toevaluatetheeffectivenessofexercisetraininginpatientswithveryseverechronic
obstructivepulmonarydisease(COPD).
DESIGN: WesearchedMEDLINE,EMBASE,CochraneCentralRegisterofControlledTrials,and
CumulativeIndextoNursingandAlliedHealthLiteraturedatabasesusingthefollowingassearch
terms:COPD,ChronicObstructivePulmonaryDisease,Exercise,andPulmonaryRehabilitation.
Weincludedrandomizedcontrolledtrials(RCTs)ofsubjectswithforcedexpiratoryvolumeinthe

WeincludedRCTswithoutcomemeasuresincludingthe6minutewalkingtestand/orhealth

RESULTS: Of580articlesscreened,10wereincluded.Theprograms'durationrangedfrom4to
52weekswith1to5sessionsperweeklasting15to40minuteseach.Theinterventiongroup

RespiratoryQuestionnaire[weightedmeandifference,8.041(95%CI,15.273to0.809)
standardizedmeandifference,1.23(95%CI,2.14to0.31)].
CONCLUSIONS: Exercisetrainingimprovesexercisetoleranceandhealthrelatedqualityoflifein
patientswithverysevereCOPD.However,becausefewstudiesonseverelyaffectedpatientsare
availableandthetrainingprogramsareHighlyheterogeneous,largerRCTsareneeded.
