Objective : To evaluate the efficacy of low intensity hairmyers exercises on the functional capacity using six minutes walking test (6MWT) and quality of life according to st George’s Respiratory Questionare (SGRQ) on Cronic Pulmonary disease (COPD) patients.

Methods : pre- experimental intervention, before and after on one subject group. Samples use hairmyers exercise for eight weeks, five times a week, of which two are done of the researcher. 6MWT is taken pre, on week four, and post exercise periods. SGRQ is taken pre and post eexercise periods.

Location : Dr Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital and Persahabatan Hospatal

Subject : 17 moderate to severe COPD patients participated in the study. Three drop out laing 14 patients out of eight minimum samples.

Results : mean differeance of 6 MWT between pre and post intervention, and between fourth week and post intervention shows highly significant result on Activity, Impact and total component (p<0.05).>

Conclusion : The functional capacity based on 6MWT and quality of life according to SGRQ on COPD patients significantly increases after doing hairmyers exercises.

Keywords: COPD, low-intensity exercise, 6MWT, SGRQ

ABSTRACT

Objective : To know the influence diaphragm breathing exercise or without static cycle exercise toward level of physical fitness of moderate asthma persistent patien.

Design : Paralel clinical test compare two interventions. Case group is given diaphragm breathing exercise only.

Setting : Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Departemen. Medical Faculty –University of Indonesia, Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital Jakarta

Subject : 57 patient of moderate asthma persistent from Allegy- Immunology division, Internal Medicine Departemen Medical Faculty –University of Indonesia, Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital Jakarta

.Intervention : between January 2005 up to March 2005. 42 moderate asthma persistent patients which fufill the condition are divided inti two groups (case and control). Perform diaphragm breathing exercise whit or without static cycle exercise with supervision for six weeks. The result of VO₂max increment is compare at the end of the research.

Result : We find VO₂max significant increment (p<0,01)>2max significant (p<0,0218)>

Conclusion : Diaphragm breathing exercise with static cycle exercise increase the level of physical of fitness moderate asthma persistent patient is better than diaphragm breathing exercise only.

Key word : Moderate persistent asthma- VO₂max - diaphragm breathing exercise - static cycle.
