Aerobic exercise training improves autonomic nervous control in patients with COPD

Abstract

Neural control of heart rate, in addition to other clinically valuable measures, is positively altered in moderate-severe COPD patients following 6 weeks of aerobic exercise training. The improvement in submaximal performance after exercise training was associated with parasympathetic activity.

The Impact of an Aquatic Exercise Protocol on Physiologic Measures Within an Asthmatic Population

“…Mixed results have been reported in previous studies examining the effect of exercise on HRV. Variations in exercise doses and intensity of exercise may be responsible for the mixed results across the studies (Borghi-Silva et al, 2009;Carter, Banister, & Blaber, 2003;Okazaki et al, 2005;Sloan et al, 2009). The quantities of work and exercise intensities completed by the participants in the current study were lower than in other research reporting changes in HRV (Carter et al, 2003;Okazaki et al, 2005;Sloan et al, 2009).…”

Heart Rate Variability Assessment of the Effect of Physical Training on Autonomic Cardiac Control

“…However, there is a consistent body of evidence that exercise increases resting vagal cardiac control, in healthy as well as patient groups. 1,[12][13][14][15] Although it is theorized that posture change and an orthostatic challenge may highlight ANS changes better than the resting supine position, 16,17 and that reduced ANS responsiveness to an excitatory stimulus is seen as the most common feature of patho-physiological states, 18 exercise induced changes in HRV during standing and in response to an orthostatic stressor is less known.…”

Gender disparity of changes in heart rate during the six-minute walk test among patients with chronic obstructive airway disease

“…Georgiopoulou et al and Borghi-Silva et al, reported that under the influence of a pulmonary rehabilitation program, improve heart rate in exercise and lower heart rate at rest. [14][15][16] Borghi-Silva also pointed out that this program beneficial impact on the reduced significantly on ventilation and sensitivity rate. 16 Lacasse et al, says that heart rate at rest is the result of tone is inherent and vagal while the influence of the sympathetic nerve can also be.…”

Recent data the researcher shows an imbalance in chronic obstructive pulmonary patients leads to an increased resting heart rate.…”
