| Summary: | To explore the therapeutic effect of aerobic exercise nursing plans
based on target heart rate in cardiopulmonary exercise tests on male patients
with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This study recruited 90 male patients
with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who met specific screening criteria
and were evenly divided into a control group and an experimental group based on a
random number table. The control group received respiratory training based on the
target heart rate in the cardiopulmonary exercise test, while the experimental
group received aerobic exercise based on the target heart rate in the
cardiopulmonary exercise test. Both groups received 12 weeks of exercise each.
Cardiopulmonary function tests showed that peak oxygen consumption (peak
VO2), anaerobic threshold (AT), forced expiratory volume in the first second
(FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and the FEV1/FVC ratio in the test group
were significantly higher than those in the control group (p < 0.05);
furthermore, the carbon dioxide ventilation equivalent (VE/VCO2) slope was
significantly lower than that in the control group (p < 0.05). The
6MWT of the test group was significantly higher than that in the control group
(p < 0.05). The CAT score, Borg score and scores related to the
symptoms, activities, and impacts related to quality-of-life were significantly
reduced after intervention (p < 0.05). Aerobic exercise based on
cardiopulmonary exercise testing can improve the health status, quality of life
and prognosis of COPD patients. |
