Acute Muscular and Vascular Responses to a Single Session of Exercise With BFR in COPD (2BFREE_aigu)

25 de junio de 2026 actualizado por: University Hospital, Grenoble

Blood Flow Restriction (BFR): a Novel Approach to Potentiate the Effects of Rehabilitative Exercise Training in COPD? Study of Acute - Muscular, and Vascular - Responses to a Single Session of Exercise With BFR

Exercise training is a cornerstone of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, some patients derive limited benefits from conventional exercise programs. Previous studies suggest that the magnitude of exercise-induced muscle fatigue is associated with training effectiveness, with patients unable to develop significant muscle fatigue ("non-fatiguers") showing smaller improvements in functional capacity and quality of life.

Blood flow restriction (BFR) exercise consists in performing physical exercise while applying external pressure to the proximal part of the exercising limb, thereby reducing oxygen delivery to the muscles and limiting metabolite clearance. This approach has been shown to induce significant muscular adaptations despite the use of low exercise intensities. Because exercise intensity in COPD patients is often constrained by ventilatory limitations, BFR training may enhance muscle adaptations while reducing respiratory stress, potentially improving the effectiveness of PR.

The primary objective of this monocentric randomized crossover study is to compare lower-limb muscle fatigue induced by a single exercise session performed with BFR versus a standard exercise session in patients with COPD.

Descripción detallada

Two exercise modalities commonly used in pulmonary rehabilitation will be investigated independently in two sub-studies: (1) resistance training performed with BFR or without BFR, and (2) aerobic endurance training performed with BFR or without BFR.
