Interval Training
Interval training is a modification of endurance training where
high-intensity exercise is interspersed regularly with periods of
rest or lower intensity exercise. It results in lower symptom
scores and fewer unintended breaks (14, 15) despite high absolute
training loads, while reproducing the effects of endurance
continuous training (14–16), even in cachectic individuals with
severe COPD (17). Interval and continuous training modes generally
have comparable improvements in exercise capacity,
health-related quality of life, and skeletal muscle adaptations
immediately after training (16, 18–25).
