Dept of Pulmonology, Maastricht University, The Netherlands.Limited information is available regarding the physiological responses to different types of exercise training in patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim of this study was two fold: firstly, to investigate the physiological response to training at 60% of achieved peak load in patients with severe COPD; and secondly to study the effects of interval (I) versus continuous (C) training in these patients. Twenty-one patients with COPD (mean+/-SD forced expiratory volume in one second: 37+/-15% of predicted, normoxaemic at rest) were evaluated at baseline and after 8 weeks' training. Patients were randomly allocated to either I or C training. The traini...
