Cardiorespiratory Response During Whole Body Vibration Training in Patients With Chronic Lung Disease

Whole body vibration training seems to be a useful adjunct in exercise training in patients with severe COPD. The basic principle relies on reflectory muscle contractions caused by a vibration stimulus. Until now the impact of whole body vibration training on cardiopulmonary parameters remained unknown. Therefore aim of this study is to investigate cardiopulmonary parameters during whole body vibration training in patients with chronic lung disease.

Treatment and study plan

Whole body vibration

Primary outcomes

  1. peak oxygen consumption (VO2 peak)

    Time frame: during 1 exercise session

    subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison.

Secondary outcomes

  1. heart rate (HR)

    Time frame: during 1 exercise session

    subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison.

  2. minute ventilation (VE)

    Time frame: during 1 exercise session

    subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison.

  3. perceived exertion for dyspnea and leg fatigue (Borg-scale)

    Time frame: during 1 exercise session

    subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison.

  4. Alveolar-arterial oxygen difference (AaDO2)

    Time frame: during 1 exercise session

    subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison.

  5. breathing frequency (BF)

    Time frame: during 1 exercise session

    subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison.

  6. peak carbon-dioxide consumption (VCO2 peak)

    Time frame: during 1 exercise session

    subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison.
