Rationale: We hypothesized that among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, those who develop quadriceps contractile fatigue (QCF) after exhaustive submaximal cycle exercise would have a greater response to exercise training than those who do not develop QCF (NQCF).
Methods: Patients (N = 132) had measurement of QCF at baseline. Six-minute walk distance (6 MWD), maximal incremental cycle exercise testing, and quality of life measured by the Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire were obtained before and after pulmonary rehabilitation (PR).
