Study Summary

Previous studies suggest that treadmill exercise may be a more relevant exercise stimulus than the cycle ergometer to demonstrate benefits with bronchodilator therapy in patients with COPD. The hypothesis of the study is that patients with COPD will exhibit greater improvements in exercise endurance and breathlessness with arformoterol compared with normal saline during treadmill walking than with cycle exercise.

Primary Outcome

Participants were asked to exercise until symptom limitation

Interventions

  • OTHER Treadmill Exercise
  • DRUG Arformoterol tartrate
  • DRUG Placebo: Normal Saline
  • OTHER Cycle Exercise
