Brief Summary: The definition of obstructive airway disease is a ratio of the forced expiratory volume in one second FEV1 to the forced vital capacity FVC of less than 07 which includes conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease asthma lymphangioleiomyomatosis and bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome For example lung obstruction adversely affects many aspects of a patients health such as lung function and exercise capacity Pulmonary rehabilitation is widely used in patients with obstructive airway disease and the prescription of pulmonary rehabilitation depends on exercise capacity parameters such as peak oxygen uptake peak VO2 peak workload and anaerobic threshold However patients often have difficulty achieving training goals due to severe dyspnea during exercise Dynamic hyperinflation is a common cause of dyspnea during exercise in patients with obstructive airway disease Investigators aim to alleviate breathlessness by reducing dynamic hyperinflation making it easier to achieve training goals Methods to reduce dynamic hyperinflation include pursed lip breathing reducing breathing rate to prolong expiratory time using bronchodilators and undergoing lung volume reduction surgery Among these methods reducing breathing rate to prolong expiratory time may be the most feasible and investigators aim to change the rhythm and pace of breathing by adjusting the pedal rate of cycling exercise The pedaling rate is typically set at 60 revolutions per minute The European Respiratory Society recommended a pedal rate range of 40-70 revolutions per minute in 2019 There is still no consensus on the relationship between pedal rate and respiratory rate This prospective observational study using a crossover design aims to investigate the effects of pedal rate during exercise testing on dynamic hyperinflation and exercise capacity in patients with obstructive airway disease
Detailed Description: Obstructive airway disease is defined as forced expiratory volume in one second FEV1 forced vital capacity FVC 07 It includes chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD asthma lymphangioleiomyomatosis LAM and bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome Pulmonary rehabilitation is widely utilized in patients with obstructive airway disease Comprehensive intervention based on a thorough patient assessment followed by patient-tailored therapies that include but are not limited to exercise training education and behavior change designed to improve the physical and psychological condition of people The exercise prescription for pulmonary rehabilitation is often determined based on exercise capacity The exercise capacity includes peaked VO2 oxygen consumption peaked work rate and anaerobic threshold They are all measured in cardiopulmonary exercise test CPET However patients often struggle to achieve training goals due to severe dyspnea Dynamic hyperinflation is a common cause of shortness of breath on exertion in obstructive airway disease

Generally end-expiratory lung volume EELV is relative constant during exercise Inspiratory capacity IC is increasing during exercise The IC maneuver is used to monitor exercise-induced dynamic hyperinflation Dynamic hyperinflation caused by air trapping which increases residual air volume is a common cause of shortness of breath on exertion in obstructive lung disease There are many diagnostic criteria including a decrease in dynamic IC of 140mL a decrease of 5 in IC during maximal exercise or a decrease of 10 in IC during maximal exercise In a prospective observational study dynamic hyperinflation occurred at a higher prevalence 55 in patients with LAM Dynamic hyperinflation was associated with a reduction in FEV1 and higher dyspnea intensity at exercise cessation R -053 P-value 0001 COPD patients develop dynamic hyperinflation during symptom-limited incremental work exercise with cycle ergometer The increase in EELV seems to be the best predictor of dyspnea

The pedaling rate is typically set at 60 revolutions per minute in National Taiwan University Hospital The average respiratory rate for a total of 31 patients is 29 breaths per minute 2019 European respiratory society suggested that maintaining over a wide range of pedaling rates 40-70 revolutions per minute in CPET The evidence of the optimal pedaling rate during exercise obstructive airway disease is limited The current consensus remains inconclusive on whether a lower pedaling rate will result in a reduction of breathing speed subsequently improving dynamic hyperinflation and ultimately leading to an improvement in exercise capacity This prospective observational study employing a crossover design aims to investigate the impact of pedaling rate during exercise tests on dynamic hyperinflation and exercise capacity in individuals with obstructive airway disease
