Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Conditions
Interventions
A pulmonary rehabilitation protocol will be performed for a single group of individuals (a total of approximately 30 participants. The protocol consists of exercises:
Aerobic exercises for lower limbs
Timed walk or exercise bike associated with virtual reality - objective greater distance covered (10 min)
Strengthening of abdominal muscles with exercises derived from the isostretching method (5 min)
Stretching of the cervical musculature and myofascial release of accessory and diaphragmatic musculature (5 min)
Aerobic exercises for upper limbs (arms) - free weights, associated with diaphragmatic breathing with series of 8 to 12 repetitions, with progressive loads (5 min)
Inspiratory muscle training (strengthening of inspiratory muscles) - IMT threshold - 40% of MIP (10 min).
The protocol lasts approximately three months, 26 consultations will be carried out, two of wh
