TranscriptCan you describe the research you presented on the secret link between muscle and the brain in COPD?
Currently, we don't know which exercise intensity of aerobic training is most optimal to improve cognitive function.
Therefore, we are currently exploring a trial if super maximal high-intensity interval training is superior compared to moderate-intensity continuous spinning to improve cognitive function.
On the other hand, we don't know if we can improve brain structure and how we can optimally improve brain structure in our patients [with] COPD, while we know this is important to reduce the prevalence of mild cognitive impairments in dementia.
I think a future step would be to implement resistance training and exercise training, or aerobic training, to improve cognitive function and brain structure in our patients.
