Abstract
BACKGROUND Beyond being a pulmonary disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) presents with extrapulmonary manifestations including reduced cognitive, cardiovascular, and muscle function. While exercise training is the cornerstone in the non-pharmacological treatment of COPD, there is a need for new exercise training methods due to suboptimal adaptations when following traditional exercise guidelines, often applying moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT). In people with COPD, short-duration high-intensity interval training (HIIT) holds the potential to induce a more optimal stimulus for training adaptations while circumventing the ventilatory burden often associated with MICT in people with COPD. We aim to determine the effects of supramaximal HIIT and MICT on extrapulmonary manifestations in people with COPD compared to matched healthy controls. METHODS COPD-HIIT is a prospective, multi-centre, randomized, controlled trial with blinded assessors and data analysts, employing a parallel-group designed trial. In phase 1, we will investigate the effects and mechanisms of a 12-week intervention of supramaximal HIIT compared to MICT in people with COPD (n = 92) and matched healthy controls (n = 70). Participants will perform watt-based cycling two to three times weekly. In phase 2, we will determine how exercise training and inflammation impact the trajectories of neurodegeneration, in people with COPD, over 24 months. In addition to the 92 participants with COPD performing HIIT or MICT, a usual care group (n = 46) is included in phase 2. In both phases, the primary outcomes are a change from baseline in cognitive function, cardiorespiratory fitness, and muscle power. Key secondary outcomes include change from baseline exercise tolerance, brain structure, and function measured by MRI, neuroinflammation measured by PET/CT, systemic inflammation, and intramuscular adaptations. Feasibility of the interventions will be comprehensively investigated. DISCUSSION The COPD-HIIT trial will determine the effects of supramaximal HIIT compared to MICT in people with COPD and healthy controls. We will provide evidence for a novel exercise modality that might overcome the barriers associated with MICT in people with COPD. We will also shed light on the impact of exercise at different intensities to reduce neurodegeneration. The goal of the COPD-HIIT trial is to improve the treatment of extrapulmonary manifestations of the disease. TRIAL REGISTRATION Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT06068322. Prospectively registered on 2023-09-28.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review synthesizes the expanding evidence for pulmonary rehabilitation that has led to its recommended inclusion in the holistic care of people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), as well as discussing strategies that may maximize and sustain benefits. RECENT FINDINGS Pulmonary rehabilitation is an effective intervention leading to significant improvements in exercise tolerance, symptoms, and quality of life for people with IPF. Improvements in symptoms and quality of life can persist longer term, whereas functional capacity does not; therefore, strategies to preserve functional capacity are an important area of research. Referral early in the disease course is encouraged to promote longer lasting effects. Evidence that high-intensity interval training may optimize benefits of exercise training is emerging. Supplemental oxygen is frequently used to manage exercise-induced desaturation, although its use as an adjunct therapy requires more evidence. SUMMARY Current evidence strongly supports the inclusion of pulmonary rehabilitation in the standard holistic care of IPF, with early participation encouraged. Further research is needed to establish the optimal exercise strategies, modalities and adjunct therapies that enhance outcomes of pulmonary rehabilitation and promote longer lasting effects.

Abstract
Exercise with reduced muscle mass facilitates greater muscle-specific adaptations than training with larger muscle mass. The smaller active muscle mass can demand a greater portion of cardiac output which allows muscle(s) to perform greater work and subsequently elicit robust physiological adaptations that improve health and fitness. One reduced active muscle mass exercise that can promote greater positive physiological adaptations is single-leg cycling (SLC). Specifically, SLC confines the cycling exercise to a smaller muscle mass resulting in greater limb specific blood flow (i.e., blood flow is no longer "shared" by both legs) which allows the individual to exercise at a greater limb specific intensity or for a longer duration. Numerous reports describing the use of SLC have established cardiovascular and/or metabolic benefits of this exercise modality for healthy adults, athletes, and individuals living with chronic diseases. SLC has served as a valuable research tool for understanding central and peripheral factors to phenomena such as oxygen uptake and exercise tolerance (i.e., V̇O2peak and V̇O2 slow component). Together, these examples highlight the breadth of applications of SLC to promote, maintain, and study health. Accordingly, the purpose of this review was to describe: 1) acute physiological responses to SLC, 2) long-term adaptations to SLC in populations ranging from endurance athletes to middle aged adults, to individuals living with chronic disease (COPD, heart failure, organ transplant), and 3) various methods utilized to safely perform SLC. A discussion is also included on clinical application and exercise prescription of SLC for the maintenance and/or improvement of health.

Abstract
Introduction: Quadriceps dysfunction is a common systemic manifestation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), for which treatment using resistance training is highly recommended. Even though training volume is suggested to be a key explanatory factor for intramuscular adaptation to resistance training in healthy older adults, knowledge is scarce on the role of progression of training volume for intramuscular adaptations in COPD. Methods: This study was a sub-analysis of a parallel-group randomized controlled trial. Thirteen patients with severe to very severe COPD (median 66 yrs, forced expiratory volume in 1 s 44% predicted) performed 8 weeks of low-load resistance training. In a post hoc analysis, they were divided into two groups according to their training volume progression. Those in whom training volume continued to increase after the first 4 weeks of training outlined the continued progression group (n = 9), while those with limited increase (<5%) or even reduction in training volume after the initial 4 weeks composed the discontinued progression group (n = 4). Fiber-type distribution and oxidative muscle protein levels, i.e., citrate synthase (CS), hydroxyacyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase (HADH), mitochondrial transcription factor A (TfAM) as well as quadriceps endurance measures (total work from elastic band and isokinetic knee extension tests), were assessed before and after the intervention period. Results: The continued progression group sustained their training volume progression during weeks 5–8 compared to weeks 1–4 (median +25%), while the discontinued progression group did not (median -2%) (p = 0.007 between groups). Compared with baseline values, significant between-group differences in fiber type distribution and TfAM muscle protein levels (range ± 17–62%, p < 0.05) and in individual responses to change in Type I and Type IIa fiber type proportion, CS, HADH, and TfAM muscle protein levels outcomes (median 89 vs. 50%, p = 0.001) were seen in favor of the continued progression group. Moreover, only the continued progression group had a significant increase in HADH muscle protein levels (+24%, p = 0.004), elastic band (+56%, p = 0.004) and isokinetic (+7%, p = 0.004) quadriceps endurance, but the between-group differences did not reach statistical significance (range 14–29%, p = 0.330–1.000). Discussion: The novel findings of the current study were that patients with COPD who had a continued progression of training volume across the 8-weeks intervention had an increased proportion of Type I fibers, and TfAM muscle protein levels and decreased proportion of Type II fibers compared to those that did not continue to progress their training volume after the initial weeks. Additionally, HADH muscle protein levels and quadriceps endurance measurements only improved in the continued progression group, although no significant between-group differences were seen. These findings highlight the importance of continued progression of training volume during resistive training to counteract quadriceps dysfunction within the COPD population. Still, considering the small sample size and the post hoc nature of our analyses, these results should be interpreted cautiously, and further research is necessary.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a worldwide pandemic illness that is impacting the cardiovascular, pulmonary, musculoskeletal, and cognitive function of a large spectrum of the worldwide population. The available pharmacological countermeasures of these long-term effects of COVID-19 are minimal, while myriads of non-specific non-pharmacological treatments are emerging in the literature. In this complicated scenario, particular emphasis should be dedicated to specific exercise interventions tailored for subjects and athletes recovering from COVID-19. Specific guidelines on adapted physical activity in this critical population are unavailable so far, therefore, in this position statement of the Società Italiana di Scienze Motorie e Sportive (SISMeS) the members of the steering committee of the research group Attività Motoria Adattata, Alimentazione, Salute e Fitness have indicated the adapted physical activity approaches to counteract the long-term effects of the COVID-19, both in good health people and athletes.

Abstract
Muscle weakness is the primary impairment causing mobility difficulty among stroke survivors. Millions of people are unable to live normally because of mobility difficulty every year. Strength training is an effective method to improve lower extremity ability but is limited by the shortage of medical staff. Thus, this paper proposes a robot-assisted active training (RAAT) by an adaptive admittance control scheme with virtual reality interaction (AACVRI). AACVRI consists of a stiffness variable admittance controller, an adaptive controller, and virtual reality (VR) interactions. In order to provide human-robot reality interactions corresponding to virtual scenes, an admittance control law with variable stiffness term was developed to define the mechanics property of the end effector. The adaptive controller improves tracking performances by compensating interaction forces and dynamics model deviations. A virtual training environment including action following, event feedback, and competition mechanism is utilized for improving boring training experience and engaging users to maintain active state in cycling training. To verify controller performances and the feasibility of RAAT, experiments were conducted with eight subjects. Admittance control provides desired variable interactions along the trajectory. The robot responds to different virtual events by changing admittance parameters according to trigger feedbacks. Adaptive control ensures tracking errors at a low level. Subjects were maintained in active state during this strength training. Their physiological signals significantly increased, and interaction forces were at a high level. RAAT is a feasible approach for lower limb strength training, and users can independently complete high-quality active strength training under RAAT.

Abstract
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a diverse group of chronic lung conditions characterized by dyspnea, exercise-induced hypoxemia (EIH), and exercise intolerance. Since activity limitations and impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in ILD are similar to those in other chronic respiratory diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary rehabilitation is also indicated for patients with ILD. This rehabilitation program mainly comprises exercise training and self-management education. Exercise training is the most important component of pulmonary rehabilitation. It significantly improves dyspnea and enhances exercise capacity and HRQoL in patients with ILD. The standard exercise prescription used for COPD is also effective for ILD. However, considering that disease progression and exercise-limiting factors are different in patients with COPD is necessary. Severe EIH, the adverse effects of corticosteroid administration, and comorbidities often lead to difficulty in employing a sufficient exercise intensity. Some modifications in the exercise prescription for individual patients or strategies to minimize EIH and dyspnea are required to optimize training intensity. Since EIH is common and severe in patients with ILD, supplemental oxygen should be provided. In advanced and more severe patients, who have difficulty in performing exercises, energy conservation techniques and the use of energy-saving devices to improve and maintain the patients' activities of daily living may be effective..

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Activity-related breathlessness is a key determinant of poor quality of life in patients with advanced cardiorespiratory disease. Accordingly, palliative care has assumed a prominent role in their care. The severity of breathlessness depends on a complex combination of negative cardiopulmonary interactions and increased afferent stimulation from systemic sources. We review recent data exposing the seeds and consequences of these abnormalities in combined heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). RECENT FINDINGS The drive to breathe increases ('excessive breathing') secondary to an enlarged dead space and hypoxemia (largely COPD-related) and heightened afferent stimuli, for example, sympathetic overexcitation, muscle ergorreceptor activation, and anaerobic metabolism (largely heart failure-related). Increased ventilatory drive might not be fully translated into the expected lung-chest wall displacement because of the mechanical derangements brought by COPD ('inappropriate breathing'). The latter abnormalities, in turn, negatively affect the central hemodynamics which are already compromised by heart failure. Physical activity then decreases, worsening muscle atrophy and dysfunction. SUMMARY Beyond the imperative of optimal pharmacological treatment of each disease, strategies to lessen ventilation (e.g., walking aids, oxygen, opiates and anxiolytics, and cardiopulmonary rehabilitation) and improve mechanics (heliox, noninvasive ventilation, and inspiratory muscle training) might mitigate the burden of this devastating symptom in advanced heart failure-COPD.

Abstract
Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is beneficial for people with several forms of chronic respiratory disease. Given the existing limitations on availability of PR services, it is important to identify participants who are most likely to benefit from it. Identification of criteria for patient referral to PR is challenging, as chronic respiratory diseases and their medical and psychosocial co-morbidities place a complex and multifaceted burden on patients. Although research studies have attempted to identify key parameters predictive of 'responsiveness to PR', to date no firm physiological, psychosocial or other criteria exist by which optimal patient candidacy can be determined. Moreover, individual factors do not reliably predict successful multidimensional PR outcomes. In general, individuals who remain symptomatic with dyspnoea, fatigue and exercise intolerance; who have difficulty performing activities of daily living (ADL); and who are having difficulty coping with or managing their disease despite optimized pharmacological therapy are potential candidates for PR. Patient assessment and outcome measurement are core essential features of PR. To be considered as a PR programme, rehabilitation programmes must demonstrate, at a minimum, assessment and outcome measurement in regard to exercise capacity, dyspnoea and health-related quality of life. Additional parameters, including physical activity, nutritional status, tobacco use status, patient knowledge and self-efficacy, performance of ADL, fatigue, disease exacerbations, hospitalizations and other urgent healthcare utilization, and behavioural outcomes, including coping styles, patient satisfaction and programme metrics, are other relevant and important aspects of patient assessment and outcome measurement that should be considered and undertaken in PR, where feasible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), limb-muscle dysfunction is one of the most troublesome systemic manifestations of the disease, which at the functional level is evidenced by reduced strength and endurance of limb muscles. Improving limb-muscle function is an important therapeutic goal of COPD management, for which resistance training is recommended. However, current guidelines for resistance training in COPD mainly focus on improving muscle strength which only reflects one aspect of limb-muscle function and does not address the issue of reduced muscle endurance. The latter is of importance considering that the reduction in limb-muscle endurance often is greater than that of muscle weakness, and also, limb-muscle endurance seems to be closer related to walking capacity as well as arm function than to limb-muscle strength within this group of people. Thus, strategies targeting multiple aspects of the decreased muscle function are warranted to increase the possibility for an optimal effect for the individual patient. Periodized resistance training, which represents a planned variation of resistance training variables (i.e., volume, intensity, frequency, etc.), is one strategy that could be used to target limb-muscle strength as well as limb-muscle endurance within the same exercise regimen. METHODS This is an international, multicenter, randomized controlled trial comparing the effect and feasibility of non-linear periodized resistance training to traditional non-periodized resistance training in people with COPD. Primary outcomes are dynamic limb-muscle strength and endurance. Secondary outcomes include static limb-muscle strength and endurance, functional performance, quality of life, dyspnea, intramuscular adaptations as well as the proportion of responders. Feasibility of the training programs will be assessed and compared on attendance rate, duration, satisfaction, drop-outs as well as occurrence and severity of any adverse events. DISCUSSION The proposed trial will provide new knowledge to this research area by investigating and comparing the feasibility and effects of non-linear periodized resistance training compared to traditional non-periodized resistance training. If the former strategy produces larger physiological adaptations than non-periodized resistance training, this project may influence the prescription of resistance training in people with COPD.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common multisystem inflammatory disease with ramifications involving essentially all organ systems. Pulmonary rehabilitation is a comprehensive program designed to prevent and mitigate these disparate systemic effects and improve patient quality of life, functional status, and social functioning. Although initial patient assessment is a prominent component of any pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program, cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is not regularly performed as a screening physiologic test prior to PR in COPD patients. Further, CPET is not often used to assess or document the improvement in exercise capacity related to completion of PR. In this review we will describe the classic physiologic abnormalities related to COPD on CPET parameters, the role of CPET in Risk Stratification/Safety prior to PR, the physiologic changes that occur in CPET parameters with PR, and the literature regarding the use of CPET to assess PR results. Finally, we will compare CPET to 6MW in COPD PR, the common minimal clinically important difference (MCID) is associated with CPET, and the potential future roles of CPET in PR and Research.

Abstract
Fatigue is a primary disabling symptom in chronic respiratory diseases (CRD) with major clinical implications. However, fatigue is not yet sufficiently explored and is still poorly understood in CRD, making this symptom underdiagnosed and undertreated in these populations. Fatigue is a dynamic phenomenon, particularly in such evolving diseases punctuated by acute events which can, alone or in combination, modulate the degree of fatigue experienced by the patients. This review supports a comprehensive inter-disciplinary approach of CRD-related fatigue and emphasizes the need to consider both its performance and perceived components. Most studies in CRD evaluated perceived fatigue as a trait characteristic using multidimensional scales, providing precious information about its prevalence and clinical impact. However, these scales are not adapted to understand the complex dynamics of fatigue in real-life settings and should be augmented with ecological assessment of fatigue. The state level of fatigue must also be considered during physical tasks as severe fatigue can emerge rapidly during exercise. CRD patients exhibit alterations in both peripheral and central nervous systems and these abnormalities can be exacerbated during exercise. Laboratory tests are necessary to provide mechanistic insights into how and why fatigue develops during exercise in CRD. A better knowledge of the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying perceived and performance fatigability and their influence on real-life performance will enable the development of new individualized countermeasures. This review aims first to shed light on the terminology of fatigue and then critically considers the contemporary models of fatigue and their relevance in the particular context of CRD. This article then briefly reports the prevalence and clinical consequences of fatigue in CRD and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of various fatigue scales. This review also provides several arguments to select the ideal test of performance fatigability in CRD and to translate the mechanistic laboratory findings into the clinical practice and real-world performance. Finally, this article discusses the dose-response relationship to training and the feasibility and validity of using the fatigue produced during exercise training sessions in CRD to optimize exercise training efficiency. Methodological concerns, examples of applications in selected diseases and avenues for future research are also provided.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) frequently coexist, particularly in the elderly. Given their rising prevalence and the contemporary trend to longer life expectancy, overlapping HF-COPD will become a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the next decade. Areas covered: Drawing on current clinical and physiological constructs, the consequences of negative cardiopulmonary interactions on the interpretation of pulmonary function and cardiopulmonary exercise tests in HF-COPD are discussed. Although those interactions may create challenges for the diagnosis and assessment of disease stability, they provide a valuable conceptual framework to rationalize HF-COPD treatment. The impact of COPD or HF on the pharmacological treatment of HF or COPD, respectively, is then comprehensively discussed. Authors finalize by outlining how the non-pharmacological treatment (i.e. rehabilitation and exercise reconditioning) can be tailored to the specific needs of patients with HF-COPD. Expert commentary: Randomized clinical trials testing the efficacy and safety of new medications for HF or COPD should include a sizeable fraction of patients with these coexistent pathologies. Multidisciplinary clinics involving cardiologists and respirologists trained in both diseases (with access to unified cardiorespiratory rehabilitation programs) are paramount to decrease the humanitarian and social burden of HF-COPD.

Abstract
Single-limb exercises have been used as a strategy to improve aerobic exercise tolerance in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by alleviating the cardiopulmonary demand. We asked whether this strategy would also apply to cardiorespiratory demand and amount of work performed during single-limb and two-limb low-load/high-repetition resistance exercises in 20 patients with COPD [forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) = 1.0 liters, 38% of predicted] and 15 age-, sex-, and activity-matched healthy controls. Peak ventilation, peak oxygen consumption (V̇o2), and peak heart rate (HR) were assessed to document cardiorespiratory demand during shoulder flexion and knee extension exercises while exercise tolerance was assessed by the total amount of work achieved. In addition, changes in myoglobin-deoxyhemoglobin level (Δdeoxy-[Hb/Mb]) were measured during single-limb knee extension. In COPD, single-limb shoulder flexion and knee extension elicited higher localized workloads than two-limb exercises (21 and 24% higher workloads for the former exercise) while cardiopulmonary demand was 8–16% higher during two-limb exercises. When expressed as a percentage of peak values achieved during incremental cycle ergometry, peak V̇O2 and HR were similarly high during single-limb shoulder flexion and knee extension exercises, representing 90% of peak HR and 60% of peak V̇O2. Apart from single-limb knee extension, cardiorespiratory demand per kilogram work during low-load/high-repetition knee extension and shoulder flexion exercises was higher in patients with COPD than in healthy controls (range 27–122%, P < 0.0125). Δdeoxy-[Hb/Mb] of the quadriceps during knee extension was similar between the two groups, while Δdeoxy-[Hb/Mb] per kilogram work was higher in patients with COPD. We conclude that 1) in patients with COPD, single-limb exercises resulted in lower peak cardiorespiratory demand as well as higher localized workloads compared with two-limb exercises; 2) compared with healthy controls, the cardiorespiratory demand, either expressed per unit of work or relative to peak capacity, was higher in patients with COPD than in controls during low-load/high-repetition resistance exercises, irrespective of the involvement of one or two limbs or of the upper or lower extremity; 3) quadriceps muscle deoxygenation per unit of work during low-load/high-repetition knee extension was increased in COPD compared with controls; and 4) single- and two-limb low-load/high-repetition knee extension and shoulder flexion resistance exercises imposed a similar burden on the cardiorespiratory system, resulting in a higher cardiorespiratory demand per kilogram work performed during shoulder flexion compared with knee extension, in both COPD and healthy controls. NEW & NOTEWORTHY In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), single-limb knee extension and shoulder flexion resulted in a lower peak cardiorespiratory response as well as larger localized exercise workloads compared with two-limb exercises. Cardiorespiratory and quadriceps deoxygenation cost per kilogram work was greater in COPD compared with healthy controls, despite similar acute responses. Compared with knee extension, shoulder flexion imposed a similar burden on the cardiorespiratory system in patients with COPD and healthy controls.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Leg order during sequential single-leg cycling (i.e., exercising both legs independently within a single session) may affect local muscular responses potentially influencing adaptations. This study examined the cardiovascular and skeletal muscle hemodynamic responses during double-leg and sequential single-leg cycling. METHODS Ten young healthy adults (28 ± 6 yr) completed six 1-min double-leg intervals interspersed with 1 min of passive recovery and, on a separate occasion, 12 (six with one leg followed by six with the other leg) 1-min single-leg intervals interspersed with 1 min of passive recovery. Oxygen consumption, heart rate, blood pressure, muscle oxygenation, muscle blood volume, and power output were measured throughout each session. RESULTS Oxygen consumption, heart rate, and power output were not different between sets of single-leg intervals, but the average of both sets was lower than the double-leg intervals. Mean arterial pressure was higher during double-leg compared with sequential single-leg intervals (115 ± 9 vs 104 ± 9 mm Hg, P < 0.05) and higher during the initial compared with second set of single-leg intervals (108 ± 10 vs 101 ± 10 mm Hg, P < 0.05). The increase in muscle blood volume from baseline was similar between the active single leg and the double leg (267 ± 150 vs 214 ± 169 μM·cm, P = 0.26). The pattern of change in muscle blood volume from the initial to second set of intervals was significantly different (P < 0.05) when the leg was active in the initial (-52.3% ± 111.6%) compared with second set (65.1% ± 152.9%). CONCLUSIONS These data indicate that the order in which each leg performs sequential single-leg cycling influences the local hemodynamic responses, with the inactive muscle influencing the stimulus experienced by the contralateral leg.

Abstract
Frailty is a functional status that precedes disability and is characterized by decreased functional reserve and increased vulnerability. In addition to disability, the frailty phenotype predicts falls, institutionalization, hospitalization and mortality. Frailty is the consequence of the interaction between the aging process and some chronic diseases and conditions that compromise functional systems and finally produce sarcopenia. Many of the clinical manifestations of frailty are explained by sarcopenia which is closely related to poor physical performance. Reduced regenerative capacity, malperfusion, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation compose the sarcopenic skeletal muscle alterations associated to the frailty phenotype. Inflammation appears as a common determinant for chronic diseases, sarcopenia and frailty. The strategies to prevent the frailty phenotype include an adequate amount of physical activity and exercise as well as pharmacological interventions such as myostatin inhibitors and specific androgen receptor modulators. Cell response to stress pathways such as Nrf2, sirtuins and klotho could be considered as future therapeutic interventions for the management of frailty phenotype and aging-related chronic diseases.
