Key result
An 8-week endurance training program improved heart rate recovery at one minute post-exercise from a mean of 10 to 12 beats in patients with moderate-to-severe COPD (p=0.0127).

Supports autonomic benefits of endurance training in COPD; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation before practice change.
Gimeno‐Santos et al. (2013) conducted a cohort in moderate-to-severe COPD (n=73). 8-week endurance training program vs. Baseline (pre-training) was evaluated on Heart rate recovery at one minute post-exercise (HRR1) (p=0.0127). An 8-week endurance training program improved heart rate recovery at one minute post-exercise from a mean of 10 to 12 beats in patients with moderate-to-severe COPD (p=0.0127).
