Cardiorespiratory Response During Whole Body Vibration Training in Patients With Chronic Lung Disease

February 23, 2016 updated by: Klaus Kenn, Schön Klinik Berchtesgadener Land

Cardiorespiratory Response During Whole Body Vibration Training in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) or Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)

Whole body vibration training seems to be a useful adjunct in exercise training in patients with severe COPD. The basic principle relies on reflectory muscle contractions caused by a vibration stimulus. Until now the impact of whole body vibration training on cardiopulmonary parameters remained unknown. Therefore aim of this study is to investigate cardiopulmonary parameters during whole body vibration training in patients with chronic lung disease.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
peak oxygen consumption (VO2 peak)
Time Frame: during 1 exercise session
subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison.
during 1 exercise session

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
heart rate (HR)
Time Frame: during 1 exercise session
subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison.
during 1 exercise session
minute ventilation (VE)
Time Frame: during 1 exercise session
subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison.
during 1 exercise session
perceived exertion for dyspnea and leg fatigue (Borg-scale)
Time Frame: during 1 exercise session
subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison.
during 1 exercise session
Alveolar-arterial oxygen difference (AaDO2)
Time Frame: during 1 exercise session
subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison.
during 1 exercise session
breathing frequency (BF)
Time Frame: during 1 exercise session
subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison.
during 1 exercise session
peak carbon-dioxide consumption (VCO2 peak)
Time Frame: during 1 exercise session
subjects perform several short bouts (1 to 3 minutes duration) of squatting exercise with or without whole body vibration. The peak values of each single part is used for comparison.
during 1 exercise session
