Exercising until you're a little breathless is not dangerous, but do not push yourself too far. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a common condition affecting an estimated 3 million individuals in the UK, of which 30,000 die per annum. Individuals become progressively breathless due to their lung disease and as a consequence reduce their physical activity. This inactivity leads to a further worsening of their breathlessness. There are studies to show that vibration of the chest wall reduces breathlessness in healthy people and in patients with COPD, but these devices are cumbersome and impractical to use during exercise. Actegy Ltd have developed a CE-marked handheld device called Aerosure, which works by vibrating the air as patients breathe in and out through it. Aerosure has been shown to reduce feelings of breathlessness in healthy adults after 5 weeks of use. We wish to test whether using Aerosure during a six minute walk test increases the distance walked, and reduces breathlessness during the test.
