Modified Suandok Exercise Training programme
This simple and inexpensive equipment exercise training programme was developed by the investigator team. The MSET programme consisted of COPD education a
self-
management plan in case of worsening of the dyspnea,
inhaled-
drug delivery device training and the recognition of exacerbations. The exercise training was always supervised by physiotherapists and nurses who conducted 16 sessions (2 sessions a week for 8 weeks)
15 minutes was performed before each training session. Instructions on correct exercise techniques were given and patients were supervised throughout the entire 8 weeks training period. The workload w
RM throughout the programme. During the first four weeks,
the patients performed three series each of trained muscle group. Then the sessions were increased by ten repetitions every two weeks until it reached the maximum of five series in the last two weeks.
each session of walking lasted for 15–20 minutes. Exercise sessions were increased by 5 minutes every two weeks until it reached 35–40 minutes in the last week. Heart rate and finger pulse oxygen satu
