Clinical Trial: Effectiveness of Eccentric Cycling Exercise in Ambulatory Rehabilitation for Patients With Cardiopulmonary Diseases: A Pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trial

U.S., Sept. 12 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07815366) titled 'Effectiveness of Eccentric Cycling Exercise in Ambulatory Rehabilitation for Patients With Cardiopulmonary Diseases: A Pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trial' on Sept. 07.

Brief Summary: In eccentric cycling exercise (ECC), the cyclist must oppose backwards moving pedals on a specialized motor-driven ergometer. Throughout this process, the force applied on the pedals exceeds the torque generated by the lengthening muscle (negative work), concurrently generating and storing elastic recoil energy . During ECC the cyclist is able to reach fourfold higher forces compared to conventional concentric cycling exercise (CON). At identical wo...
