Study Summary

For this study a resistance bout will be performed in order to promote the robust response of protein synthesis. Type II muscle fibers often exhibit more atrophy than type I fibers in COPD subjects therefore specifically targeting them in an exercise protocol could have more beneficial outcome for these individuals.

Eligible Conditions
  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
