Abstract
Purpose: to determine the effect of high repetitive single limb training on exercise capacity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Methods: Forty women presented with moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (FEV1/FVC<0.70) were selected from Demerdash and Sadr Al Abbasia hospitals, and their age ranged from 40 {u2013} 50 years old. They were evaluated by using 6 min walk test to all patients, and other vital signs as (blood pressure, pulse rate, oxygen saturation and borg scale) were measured pre and post training, Program. Patient were assigned as one group received high repetitive single limb training, (U.L/L.L) using elastic band in addition to medical treatment for three times/ week for 8 weeks. Results: The results showed a significant increase in post training parameters as shown with a percentage of improvement in i.e. actual distance covered by 9.23%, oxygen saturation 1.01% and pulse rate by 3.87%. Results also showed a significant decrease in ie., systolic blood pressure by 3.63%, Diastolic blood pressure by 2.55% and borg scale by 25.32% Conclusion: High repetitive single limb training was effective in improving exercise capacity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
