In stable COPD, identify and analyze the factors determining six minutes walking distance and dyspnea the end of the test. Patients were evaluated by test of lung function. St Georeges respiratoiry questionnaire (SGRQ) and 6 MWT with inspiratory capacity measurements (IC) continuous oxymetry. Eigthty-two patients (mean FEV 1 : 56±19% predicted) were studied. Mean 6minutes walking distance was 477 ± 89m (72 ± 14PV). Walking distance during 6MWT(m) was correlated with FEV 1 , CI/TLC ratio, TLC, pré-test CI and DLCO/VA. When expressed as percent of predicted values, walking distance was correlated with FRC, pre-test IC and SGRQ activity score. End test dyspnea was correlated with FRC, pré-test dyspnea and SGRQ activity and total scores. The factors determining 6-minutes walking distance and end-test dyspnea are complex and include both functional and non functional factors. In COPD, 6MWT is thus an investigation that has additional integrative value.
Physical inactivity and sedentary lifestyle are recognized as risk factors for non-communicable diseases and avoidable mortality. It is in this context that the promotion of physical activity and sport has become a real public health issue and is included in most medical recommendations of learned societies. Multiple determinants affect the adoption of a physically active lifestyle. This situation has led to the development, implementation and coordination of public policy documents that promote the practice of health-promoting physical activities. In this context, the World Health Organization (WHO) has developed the Health Enhancing Physical Activity Policy Analisis Tool (HEPA PAT) to support countries in developing and evaluating strategies and policies that address all the determinants of healthenhancing physical activity. Burkina Faso, like other countries in the world, is confronted with the problem of physical inactivity with its corollaries on health. In order to find palliative solutions to this scourge, the government, through the ministry in charge of sports and leisure, has developed texts to stimulate the practice of physical activities and sports. The objective of this study is to evaluate the policies governing the practice of physical activities and sports in Burkina Faso. To this end, the HEPA PAT tool was used as an analysis model. It was found that the policies governing the practice of physical activity and sport contain only eight of the 17 criteria required to create an appropriate context for the development of health-promoting physical activity and sport. Therefore, it is necessary for the government of Burkina Faso to integrate the nine other criteria without which the expected results cannot be achieved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
