Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Change in physical capacity after 6 month breathing training; the training is supervised by phone. Patients undergo a cardiopulmonary exercise test where the peak oxygen uptake is calculated. It is measured on the basic follow-up and 6 month later. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| cardiopulmonary exercise test: V/Q-Missmatch (VE/VCO2slope), Pulmonary function: Lungenvolumina (TLC, FVC, FEV1) NIRS: oxygenation in muscles HRV: heart rate variability before and after exercise Fitnessgram: trength and flexibility Flexibility in thorax: impairement in flexibility Health-realted quality of life: KINDL-R Physical activity: MoMo-questionnaire Labor: NT-proBNP They are measured on the basic follow-up and 6 month later. | — |
