In 10 COPD patients, who have finished rehabilitative program for 4 months with Qigong, respiratory frequency was reduced at the same exercise strength with ergometer and the paradoxical respiratory motion was improved while threshold pressure loading breathing. 10例COPD患者经松静内养功锻炼4个月后在相同运动强度下呼吸频率减低,呼吸困难减轻,压力负荷呼吸时胸腹矛盾呼吸减轻。提示气功锻炼可改善生活质量。
