Study Summary

This trial will compare the effects of one-legged versus two-legged exercise training in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for stable patients with confirmed idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis who are enrolled in a pulmonary rehab program. It's not suitable for those who've had a recent exacerbation, finished rehab within the last 6 months, or have other health issues that could make rehab unsafe.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if exercising one leg at a time can improve endurance more than the usual two-leg cycling for people with IPF. The idea is to reduce breathing demand during exercise by working fewer muscles simultaneously.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed, exercise interventions like these may cause muscle soreness, fatigue, and shortness of breath especially in individuals with lung conditions such as IPF.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: intervention -1-leg cycle trainingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Primary aerobic training component one-legged, partitioned, cycle training. A progressive approach to combined intensity and duration will be taken. A cycle starting with intermittent high intensity one-legged exercise progressing to continuous duration of the target duration of 15 min for each leg and then restarting the cycle at a higher intensity.
Group II: usual care - 2-leg cycle trainingActive Control1 Intervention
Primary aerobic training component conventional two-legged cycle training. A progressive approach to combined intensity and duration will be taken. A cycle starting with intermittent high intensity exercise progressing to continuous duration of 30 min and then restarting the cycle at a higher intensity.
