Abstract
Background and purpose: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a pulmonary condition characterized by airflow obstruction, which progresses with systemic alterations such as changes in muscle composition and metabolism, anticipating the activation of the inspiratory metaboreflex. This study aimed to analyze the acute effects of Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) on peripheral muscle metabolism in individuals with COPD, using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS).
Methods: This randomized, blinded, crossover study included 29 individuals with COPD who underwent three distinct sessions: high-load IMT (IMT-Strength, 60% of maximal inspiratory pressure-MIP), low-load IMT (IMT-Endurance, 30% of MIP), and a sham protocol. Tissue oxygenation of the gastrocnemius muscle was assessed using NIRS before and after each protocol.
Results: Differences in mean final tissue oxygen saturation were observed only during the IMT-Endurance protocol. The oxygen desaturation time was shorter during the IMT-Strength protocol compared with the other groups. Although not statistically significant, patients with more severe COPD (GOLD 3-4) exhibited an oxygen desaturation rate higher during the strength IMT compared with the endurance and sham protocols.
Conclusions: Acute high-intensity IMT may accentuate the reduction in peripheral perfusion, especially in patients with advanced COPD, suggesting possible metaboreflex activation. Conversely, endurance IMT may improve peripheral perfusion. These findings reinforce the need for careful and individualized prescription of IMT in the COPD population.
期刊介绍：
Physiotherapy Research International is an international peer reviewed journal dedicated to the exchange of knowledge that is directly relevant to specialist areas of physiotherapy theory, practice, and research. Our aim is to promote a high level of scholarship and build on the current evidence base to inform the advancement of the physiotherapy profession. We publish original research on a wide range of topics e.g. Primary research testing new physiotherapy treatments; methodological research; measurement and outcome research and qualitative research of interest to researchers, clinicians and educators. Further, we aim to publish high quality papers that represent the range of cultures and settings where physiotherapy services are delivered. We attract a wide readership from physiotherapists and others working in diverse clinical and academic settings. We aim to promote an international debate amongst the profession about current best evidence based practice. Papers are directed primarily towards the physiotherapy profession, but can be relevant to a wide range of professional groups. The growth of interdisciplinary research is also key to our aims and scope, and we encourage relevant submissions from other professional groups. The journal actively encourages submissions which utilise a breadth of different methodologies and research designs to facilitate addressing key questions related to the physiotherapy practice. PRI seeks to encourage good quality topical debates on a range of relevant issues and promote critical reflection on decision making and implementation of physiotherapy interventions.
