Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of different training exercises on physical performance indicators.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Regardless of the cause of PAH, the pulmonary arteries and arterioles have reduced capacity, and increases in cardiac output during exercise is limited. As a result, the delivery of oxygen to peripheral muscles is impaired, contributing to the symptoms of fatigue and dyspnea. While the limitation of the cardiac output to meet peripheral oxygen demand during exercise largely reduces exercise capacity, musculoskeletal dysfunction may also be involved in the exercise limitation in patients with PAH. Changes such as, muscle atrophy, decreased oxidative enzymes and a greater number of type II muscle fibers lead to an early lactic acidosis and decreased functional capacity. A modest evidence exists that exercise training can be done without adverse effects or damage to cardiac and / or pulmonary hemodynamics however, the effectiveness PAH requires more research.
