Background: In COPD patients it is very important to assess the activities of daily living (ADL) due to an impairment of independence and quality of life. There is a lack of retrievable data regarding the cardio-pulmonary response to Londrina ADL protocol in patients with COPD. The aim of the present study was to assess the cardio-pulmonary response to Londrina ADL protocol in patients with COPD and to compare this with responses to the Glittre ADL test. Methods: This cross-sectional study was done on 30 COPD subjects. Each subject was made to perform the Londrina ADL protocol, Glittre ADL test, twice each, on subsequent days. The Londrina ADL protocol comprises 5 activities representing ADL, involving upper limbs, lower limbs, and trunk movements. The Glittre ADL test consists of completing a circuit while carrying a weighted backpack (2.5 kg for women, 5.0 kg for men). The better value of the two was taken into consideration. For the Londrina ADL protocol and Glittre ADL test the outcome of primary interest was time and for the six-minute walk test was the distance walked. The secondary outcomes for all the tests were heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, respiratory rate, saturation of oxygen in blood and dyspnea.Results: The COPD subjects of age group 63.27±11.07 years took 5.94±0.36 min to complete trial 2 of the Londrina ADL protocol. A significant physiological increase in heart rate (p≤0.01), respiratory rate (p≤0.01), blood pressure (p≤0.01) and severity of dyspnea (p≤0.01) were observed whereas saturation of oxygen in blood (p≤0.01) was reduced at the end of the Londrina ADL protocol and Glittre ADL test. There was a positive, non-significant correlation between the six-minute walk test distance and the Londrina ADL protocol time (r=0.236) (p=0.209). A positive, not significant correlation was observed between the Glittre ADL test (time) and the Londrina ADL protocol (time) (r=0.194) (p=0.304) and a negative but not significant correlation between the six-minute walk test (distance) and the Glittre ADL test (time) (r= -0.184) (p=0.330).Conclusion: The Londrina ADL protocol can be used as an assessment tool to the evaluation of functional performance and activities of daily living in COPD along with other test protocols in pulmonary rehabilitation.

AbstractIntroduction The purpose of the six-minute walk test (6MWT) is to evaluate cardiopulmonary capacity using a low-cost test that is easy to administer, generally well tolerated by different populations and reflects one’s performance on activities of daily living. However, few studies have been conducted to determine the difference between performing the 6MWT indoors and outdoors.Objective The aim of the present study was to compare the distance covered on the 6MWT performed indoors and outdoors and evaluate the following physiological variables: heart rate, blood pressure and the subjective sensation of shortness of breath, using the Borg perceived exertion scale.Materials and methods A prospective, randomized, clinical trial was conducted involving eight healthy females not engaged in regular physical activity, with mean age 23.75 ± 1.67 years. Each subject performed the 6MWT indoors and outdoors with a 30-minute interval between tests. The order of the tests was determined randomly.Results The mean distance traveled was 578 ± 50.07 m on the outdoor trial and 579.95 ± 45.35 m on the indoor trial (p = 0.932). The mean physiological variables were 82.25 ± 11.02 bpm (indoors) versus 84.38 ± 9.42 bpm (outdoors) for heart rate, 121.88 ± 10.28 mmHg (indoors)versus 118.75 ± 19.40 mmHg (outdoors) for systolic blood pressure, 81.88 ± 9.74 mmHg (indoors) versus 80.50 ± 7.89 mmHg (outdoors) for diastolic blood pressure and a mean score of 12 on the perceived exertion score in both environments.Conclusions The present data demonstrate no differences in the distance walked on the 6MWT or the physiologic variables of participants between the indoor and outdoor trials.

The aim of this study was to determine whether a rowing training program could improve cardiac function in women (n = 28) with the mean age of 52.30 ± 3.78 years who survived breast cancer (stage 1: 4.55%; 2: 36.36%; 3: 54.54%; and 4: 4.55%) diagnosed 4.68 ± 3.00 years previously and underwent subsequent surgery (preservation: 56.52%; total mastectomy: 39.13%; and double mastectomy: 4.35%). Participants completed a 12-week training program consisting of three weekly sessions lasting 60–90 min with a progressive intensity increase according to the Börg scale. The assessments performed were blood pressure and pulse measurements both at rest and after performing the six-minute walk test to collect data on cardiac behavior and aerobic performance. The results showed statistically significant differences in cardiovascular system efficiency measured on the basis of heart rate both before (−12.63 ± 14.68 bpm) and after the six-minute walk test (−11.46 ± 28.39 bpm), increase in the distance achieved in the aerobic endurance test (51.56 ± 48.26 m) as well as decrease in diastolic (−13.6 ± 7.85 mm Hg) and systolic (−6.60 ± 9.10 mm Hg) blood pressure. These results suggest that rowing training programs could be a strategy to consider in this population for the benefits observed in heart rate, blood pressure and aerobic performance, which would lead to improved general health and quality of life.

O teste de caminhada de seis minutos (TC6) foi usado como ferramenta para quantificar as alterações geradas pela reabilitação. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi estimar as respostas cardíacas após infarto do miocárdio e os benefícios da reabilitação. Utilizou-se um circuito oval, onde foram realizados três testes em dias alternados, foi estabelecida a média dos testes, em que a pressão arterial, frequência cardíaca, frequência respiratória, saturação de oxigênio, escala subjetiva de Borg e a metragem durante a distância percorrida foram verificados. Foram avaliados três participantes com, aproximadamente, 69,3±4,93 anos. O teste ocorreu em duas etapas, a primeira foi a avaliação e, a seguir, a aplicação do protocolo com cargas variando de 40 a 50% da frequência cardíaca (FC) submáxima por idade e, na segunda, ocorreu a repetição do protocolo de avaliação. Os sinais vitais apresentaram alterações fisiologicamente esperadas, a pressão arterial sistólica (PAS) evoluiu 4,54%, a pressão arterial diastólica (PAD)14,28%, após o repouso, a PAS diminuiu para -0,8%, enquanto a PAD sofreu alterações importantes. A FC teve um percentual de evolução de 19,44%, diminuindo para -3,12%. A saturação de oxigênio teve aumento máximo de 2% e -1% de declínio, a maior metragem foi de 515,11 metros e a menor 235,5 metros. O TC6 é um teste confiável para estimar o desempenho cardiovascular de indivíduos após infarto do miocárdio.   APPLICABILITY OF THE SIX-MINUTE WALK TEST TO QUANTIFY THE CARDIOVASCULAR PERFORMANCE OF PATIENTS AFTER MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION   ABSTRACT The six-minute walk test (6MWT) was used as a tool to quantify the changes generated by rehabilitation. The purpose of this research was to estimate the cardiac responses after myocardial infarction and the benefits of rehabilitation. An oval circuit was used, where three tests were performed on alternate days, the average of the tests was established, in which blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, Borg's subjective scale, and the footage over the distance traveled were checked. Three participants with approximately 69.3±4.93 years old were evaluated. The test occurred in two stages, the first was the evaluation and then the application of the protocol with loads varying from 40 to 50% of submaximal heart rate (HR) by age and, in the second, there was the repetition of the evaluation protocol. The vital signs showed physiologically expected changes, the systolic blood pressure (SBP) evolved 4.54%, the diastolic blood pressure (DBP)14.28%, after resting, the SBP decreased to -0.8%, while the DBP suffered important changes. The HR had a percentage of evolution of 19.44%, decreasing to -3.12%. The oxygen saturation had a maximum increase of 2% and -1% decline, the longest distance was 515.11 meters and the shortest 235.5 meters. The 6MWT is a reliable test to estimate the cardiovascular performance of individuals after myocardial infarction.   Keywords: Six-minute Walk Test, Elder, Myocardial Infarction.
