INTRODUCTION

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an important chronic respiratory disease that seriously endangers the health. Because of the large number of patients, the insidious onset, the high mortality rate and the heavy social and economic burden, it has become an important public health problem in various countries.11 Jiang Lin L, Fengsen S, Sun J, Huo H, Li X, Li H. Efficacy of Yiqigubiao pill on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in rats with the disease induced by lipopolysaccharide and cigarette-smoke fumigation. J Tradit Chin Med. 2020;40(06):96-104. The American Thoracic Society (ATS) and the European Respiratory Society (ERS) pointed out that pulmonary rehabilitation is an individualized comprehensive intervention program designed for patients with symptomatic chronic lung damage based on evidence-based medicine, combined with multiple disciplines.22 E Monsó. Microbiome in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Ann Transl Med. 2017;5(12):251. Pulmonary rehabilitation focuses on alleviating patient symptoms, optimizing functional status, and increasing participation rate, by stabilizing or reversing the clinical manifestations of the disease, it can reduce symptoms, optimize functional status, improve the ability to participate in daily and social activities, and reduce medical expenses.33 Jiang Lin L, Fengsen S, Sun J, Huo H, Li X, Li H. Efficacy of Yiqigubiao pill on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in rats with the disease induced by lipopolysaccharide and cigarette-smoke fumigation. J Tradit Chin Med. 2020;40(06):96-104. As an effective and important non-drug treatment, pulmonary rehabilitation currently has no unified model, which mainly includes patient assessment, exercise, nutrition guidance, health education, psychological support, and behavioral intervention.44 Fantauzzi MF, Aguiar JA, Tremblay JM, Mansfield MJ, Yanagihara T, Chandiramohan A, et al. Expression of endocannabinoid system components in human airway epithelial cells – Impact of sex and chronic respiratory disease status. ERJ Open Research. 2020;6(4):00128-2020.,55 Gondim F, Santos G, Serra DS, Araujo RS, Oliveira MLM, Avila S. Effects of Exposure to Total Particulate Matter of Cashew Nuts Shell in the Respiratory System of Mice with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. AJBAS. 2019;13(1):71-9. As the core of pulmonary rehabilitation, exercise can effectively improve symptoms such as exercise capacity, dyspnea and fatigue, but due to the patient’s ventilation and diffusion dysfunction, skeletal muscle hypoxia and exercise weakness are caused.66 Ageeva KA, Filippov EV. Prognostic role of results of dynamic capnography in integral assessment of parameters of respiratory system in 6-minute walk test in patients with chronic heart failure. I P Pavlov Russian Med Biol Herald. 2020;28(3):290-9. In actual operation, it is difficult for patients to persist for a long time.77 GK Ztürk, Eki ZA, Demir E, Gulen F. Investigation Of Short And Long-Term Complications Of Respiratory System After Esophageal Atresia And/Or Tracheoesophageal Fistular Surgery. J Dr Behcet Uz Child Hosp. 2020;10(3):274-80. The lack of exercise accelerates the deterioration of lung function and muscle strength, aggravates the depression and anxiety of patients, and forms a vicious circle.88 Kosyakov AV, Abrosimov VN.

METHOD

Research objects

Patients with stable mild chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who were discharged from a hospital from May 2020 to June 2020 were the research subjects, and there was no recurrence within two months. Talking about the questionnaire and exclusion conditions, the control group dropped 1 person during the experiment, the experiment 1 group and the experiment 2 both dropped 1 person during the experiment, and finally 48 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were left as experimental subjects. The remaining 16 people in the control group: The remaining 16 people in experiment 1 group; The remaining 16 people in the experiment 2 group.

Method

1. Experimental method

The main test indicators for subjects in the experiment are lung function test indicators (forced vital capacity in the first second (FEVI), forced vital capacity (FVC), and the ratio of forced vital capacity to forced vital capacity in the first second (FEVI/FVC). ), BNI, heart rate, maximum oxygen uptake, measurement of walking distance in minutes, and dyspnea classification score, through the relevant data of the test indicators, conduct experimental research to understand the changes of the subjects’ indicators and the improvement of the subjects’ living abilities.

RESULTS

Analysis of the subjects’ lung function test indicators before the experiment

It can be seen from Table 1 that before the experiment, the lung capacity, FVC, FEV1, FEV1%, FEV1/FVC and heart rate of the experimental subjects were tested, use the data to analyze the test results, the analysis results show that there is no difference between the data of each group, the following experimental research can be carried out.

Table 1
Pre-experimental pulmonary function test index analysis table (N=16) ( ± s).

In the study, the exercise ability of the experimental subjects is mainly to test the 6-minute walking distance of the experimental subjects, and a total of 3 tests with the same lung function index are carried out, respectively, before the experiment, the middle of the experiment and after the experiment. (Table 2)

Table 2
Statistical analysis table of the distance the subjects walked in 6 minutes before the experiment (N=16) ( ± s).

Analysis of the impact of exercise rehabilitation on the lung function of the subjects

1. Analysis of the lung function test indicators of subjects in the middle of the experiment

After 3 months of experimental research, the experimental subjects were tested again, and the data obtained was compared with the relevant data before the experiment. The analysis results are shown in Table 3.

Table 3
Analysis of relevant test indicators of lung function of subjects before and after the experiment in the control group in the middle of the experiment (N=16) ( ± s).

In the 3-month experimental study, 16 subjects in the control group were mainly subjected to necessary medical treatment.

2. Analysis of Experimental Indexes of Subjects’ Pulmonary Function in the Late Period of the Experiment

It can be seen from Table 4 that in the 6-month experimental study, the 16 subjects in the control group mainly received necessary medical treatment. There was no intervention by other means in the experimental group. The data of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease before and after intervention in the experimental group showed a significant upward trend, indicating that exercise has a certain impact on the lung function of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Studies have shown that interventions can directly or indirectly improve lung function, thereby improving respiratory function. The density distribution is shown in Figure 1.

DISCUSSION

Analysis of the exercise ability of the subjects in the later stage of the experiment

It can be seen from Table 5 that after 6 months of experimental research, all subjects were statistically analyzed in the middle of the experiment. The distance of the male subjects in the control group ranged from 280.90±5.08 to 281.61±5.22 in 6 minutes, the 6-minute walking distance of the female test subjects ranged from 2S1.71±3.89 to 252.10±4.99, the 6-minute walking distance of the men and women in the control group increased, but the increase was not large, and there was no significant difference; The distance of male subjects in experiment group 1 ranged from 282.63±5.84 to 288.81±4.12 in 6 minutes, and the distance of female subjects ranged from 252.01±4.87 to 257.9011.94 in 6 minutes, the 6-minute walk distance of men and women in the experiment 1 group P<0.01, there is a difference, compared with the control group that simply maintains the basic status of the experimental subjects, breathing training and comprehensive education training methods have an impact on the subjects’ 6-minute walking, and have a very obvious impact on the improvement of the subjects’ exercise ability.99 Berndt CA, K Sohrabi Gross V, et al.

CONCLUSION

In summary, exercise training can enhance muscle aerobic metabolism, increase muscle mass and strength, and improve muscle endurance; Reduce lactic acid levels, reduce minute ventilation and ventilation requirements; Increase stroke volume, reduce heart rate, and improve heart function. Studies have confirmed that exercise training can increase the exercise tolerance of patients with COPD, alleviate dyspnea, and improve the quality of life.
