The effects of elastic resistance training in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis

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.
