A 4-week lower-limb resistance training program reduces exertional dyspnea, improves exercise tolerance, and decreases intrinsic quadriceps fatigability in individuals with COPD.
Does 4-week lower-limb resistance training reduce exertional dyspnea and intrinsic neuromuscular fatigability in individuals with COPD?
A 4-week lower-limb resistance training program effectively reduces exertional dyspnea and improves exercise tolerance in patients with COPD.

This study presents the novel finding that 4-wk resistance training (RT) focused specifically on the lower limbs can reduce exertional dyspnea during constant-load cycling, improve exercise tolerance, and reduce intrinsic fatigability of the quadriceps in individuals with COPD.
