| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to develop an eccentric contraction pedaling(ECP) system for pulmonary rehabilitation. Sixteen healthy subjects were randomly assigned to an ECP training group(n=8) or to a conventional pedaling(CP) training group(n=8), and we examined the effect of ECP and CP training(60% VO2max load, 4 weeks period, 20min/day, 3 times a week) on strength of lower limb and thickness of quadriceps femoris. Both groups showed improved strength of lower limb and thickness of quadriceps femoris, but the rate of increase of the ECP group was larger than that of CP group. These results suggest that this ECP system is effective in exercise training for pulmonary rehabilitation.
