Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To investigate acute effects of two bout of eccentric cycling and one concentric cycling on the oxidative stress (plasma TBARS, protein carbonil, 8-iso-prostaglandin, total gluthatione, gluthatione peroxidase, total antioxidant capacity) and systemic inflammation (Il-6, TNF-alpha) biomarkers of patients with COPD before, immediately after, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h after exercise | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Examine the acute metabolic stress (oxygen consumption and saturation during cycling) and muscle damage markers (CK and muscle strength) before and 24, 48, 72 and 96 h after exercise | — |
