Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Evolution of number of repetitions on chair stand test | at 10 days or at time of study exit if the patient leaves earlier | Evolution of number of repetitions in 1 minute on chair stand test between entry and exit of study |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Evolution of dyspnea | at 10 days or at time of study exit if the patient leaves earlier | Evolution of dyspnea (with Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) scale) between entry and exit of study. The scale is from 0 to 4. The higher the stage, the more severe the dyspnea. |

| Evolution of quality life score | at 10 days or at time of study exit if the patient leaves earlier | Evolution of quality life score with the World Health Organization Quality of Life Bref (WHOQOL Bref) questionnaire between entry and exit study. Measures overall quality of life in four domains: physical, psychological, social relationships, and environment. |
| Evolution of muscle mass of lower limb | at 10 days or at time of study exit if the patient leaves earlier | Evolution of muscle mass in lower limb muscle mass measured by bioelectrical impedance between entry and exit of study |
| Evolution of heart rate post exercise | at 10 days or at time of study exit if the patient leaves earlier | Evolution of heart rate post exercise between entry and exit study |
