Abstract Objective The purpose of this report is to describe the case of a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who was load compromised and being referred for outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation. Low-load blood flow restriction strength training (LL-BFRT) was applied to prepare for and increase tolerability of subsequently applied high-load strength training (HL-ST). Methods (Case Description) A 62-year-old woman with COPD GOLD 2 B presented with severe breathlessness. Lower limb strength was severely reduced while functional exercise capacity was preserved. The patient was severely load compromised and had high risk to be intolerant of the high training loads required to trigger the desired adaptations. LL-BFRT was applied during the first 12 training sessions and HL-ST in the subsequent 12 training sessions of the rehabilitation program. Endurance training on a cycle ergometer was performed throughout the program. Results Symptom burden in the COPD Assessment test was reduced by 6 points (40%). Lower limb strength improved by 95.3 Nm (521%) and 88.4 Nm (433%) for the knee extensors and by 33.8 Nm (95%) and 56 Nm (184%) for the knee flexors, respectively. Functional exercise capacity improved by 44 m (11%) in the 6-Minute Walk Test and 14 repetitions (108%) in the 1-minute sit-to stand test. The patient did not experience any adverse events related to the exercise training. Conclusion Clinically relevant changes were observed in both strength-related functional and self-reported outcomes. The achievements translated well into daily living and enabled functioning according to the patients’ desires. LL-BFRT was reported to be well tolerated and implementable into an outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation program. Impact The description of this case encourages the systematic investigation of LL-BFRT in COPD. LL-BFRT has the potential to increase benefits as well as tolerability of strength training in pulmonary rehabilitation. Consideration of the physiological changes achieved through LL-BFRT highlights potential in targeting peripheral muscle dysfunction in COPD.

ABSTRACT Introduction Strength training is a recurrent practice among several publics and the topic of several studies, yet there is a shortage of previous studies that analyzed these parameters in the same subjects in training sessions involving volume, interval and different repetitions maximum ranges. Objective The study was aimed at measuring and comparing the acute effect of different ST (strength training) protocols on HR (heart rate), HRV (heart rate variability), [LAC] (lactate concentration), [CK] (creatine kinase) and SPE (subjective perceived exertion). Methods Eleven individuals with previous experience were recruited and in three sessions they performed three different training models, namely: high load (4 sets at 90% of 1RM, 180s rest between sets), medium load (3 sets at 75% of 1 RM, 90s rest between sets), and low load (2 sets at 50% of 1 RM, 45s rest between sets) in free squat, bench press, deadlift and bent-over row exercises. Results There was no difference in CK between low load (resistance) and medium load (hypertrophy) (p = 0.60), between resistance and high load (strength) (p = 0.84), and between hypertrophy and strength (p = 0.91), while there was higher lactate accumulation in training with medium and low loads in comparison to training with high loads (p <0.001). Conclusion It can be noted that workouts with high loads, few repetitions and longer intervals (maximum strength) generate lower blood lactate concentrations and SPE values when compared to training with lower loads and shorter intervals (resistance training and hypertrophy). Additionally, when evaluating autonomic and cardiovascular variables, it would appear that manipulating the percentage of 1RM and the interval time does not generate significant changes in HRV, blood pressure (BP) and HR when the repetitions are executed until failure. Level of evidence II; Prospective comparative study.
