Breathing Helium–Hyperoxia and Tolerance of Partitioned Exercise in Patients With COPD
Abstract
PURPOSE: Partitioning exercise by 1-legged cycling is more effective than conventional training in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Similarly, inhaling helium-hyperoxia can extend conventional exercise tolerance. This study aimed to determine whether breathing helium-hyperoxia could increase the tolerance of a high-intensity exercise session achieved by 1-legged cycling.
METHODS: Participants completed 2 high-intensity, …
