Popis: We hypothesized that the respiratory exercises have uniform effects on ventilation in healthy subjects but the effects varied in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In this study, a total of 30 healthy volunteers and 9 patients with COPD were included. Data were recorded continuously during (1) diaphragmatic breathing; (2) pursed lip breathing with full inhalation; (3) pursed lip combining diaphragmatic breathing. The sequence of the three breathing exercises was randomized using machine generated random permutation. Spatial and temporal ventilation distributions were evaluated with electrical impedance tomography. Results showed that, tidal volume was significantly larger during various breathing exercises compared to quiet tidal breathing, in both healthy and COPD (p
