Community Exercise Treating Effect on Cardiopulmonary Disease Patients

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

community-based exercise training: The patients will engage in 40-60 minutes of exercise training, either at home or in the community, five times a week, for eight weeks. Brisk walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, and trekking were among the exercise modalities that were chosen mostly based on the patient's individual preferences and habits. To guarantee safe and efficient exercise, exercise intensity was modified based on each person's subjective effort level and the results of their individual cardiorespiratory exercise tests.

Study summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if community-based exercise training can benefit patients aged 18 to 85 with diminished cardiovascular and pulmonary function. The main aim of this study is:

• Establish a community or home-based fitness training program for patients with cardiopulmonary insufficiency to improve adherence, safety, and efficacy while alleviating the burden on both patients and society.

Researchers will compare community-based exercise training to non-exercise training to see if community-based exercise training works to improve cardiovascular and pulmonary function.

Participants will:

* Engage in community or home exercise training for 40-60 minutes, five times weekly, during a duration of eight weeks. Exercise modalities are primarily determined by the patients' individual preferences and habits, such as brisk walking, running, swimming, cycling, and hiking.
* Adjust the exercise intensity according to their cardiopulmonary exercise test and the person's perceived exertion level.
* Utilize fitness bracelets or watches to document statistics during workouts and submit them to the experimenter weekly, covering the five days of exercise within that week.
* refrain from making any dietary modifications throughout the trial.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• exercise capacity — at enrollment and week 8
  Peak oxygen uptake (peakVO₂, ml/(kg·min)), measured by cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), refers to the maximum rate of oxygen consumption per unit time during exhaustive incremental exercise. It serves as a key indicator of cardiopulmonary function and aerobic metabolic capacity.
• exercise capacity — at enrollment and week 8
  Anaerobic Threshold (AT, mmol/L) is a key physiological parameter in cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), representing the transition point from predominantly aerobic to anaerobic metabolism during incremental exercise. It is determined by measuring blood lactate concentration through serial blood sampling and plotting the lactate-exercise intensity curve.
• life quality — at enrollment and week 8
  The Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36) was administered, with scores ranging from 0 to 100 across its eight subscales. Higher scores reflect superior health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
