Physiological responses to the Glittre-ADL test in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the physiological responses induced by the Glittre-ADL test (TGlittre) test in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and compare them with those induced by the 6-minute walk test (6MWT).

Design: Cross-sectional observational study.

Subjects: Eighteen patients with COPD 66 years (standard deviation (SD) 8) and forced expiratory volume in 1 s of 40.
