Abstract

In recent years, studies have been conducted using elastic resistance as an alternative to weight machines in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although elastic resistance may be a very promising alternative, a systematic review of the current evidence on the effectiveness of this intervention in people with COPD is yet to be undertaken. Aim: To investigate the effects of elastic resistance training on muscle function, exercise functional capacity, health-related quality of life, and symptoms in people with COPD. Methods: This systematic review will include randomised controlled trials. Studies will be identified from six electronic databases: PubMed, CENTRAL, Embase (via OVID), PEDro, SciELO and CINAHL. The included studies will be assessed for their methodological quality using the PEDro scale (0-10). Data synthesis: The statistical analyses will be performed using Review Manager. Meta-analyses will be conducted using the inverse variance Der Simonian and Laird method. Heterogeneity will be considered to be substantial if I2 >50%. Where possible, subgroup analysis will be conducted to evaluate the effect of the intervention in the following groups: (i) elastic resistance vs weight machines; (ii) elastic resistance vs no intervention.
