And moving up a category from none to some p90X3 results exercise didn’t wipe out the disadvantage of not being highly active (OR 1.51 versus staying in the high category, P=0.645). Nevertheless, plenty of prior studies have shown benefits to regular exercise in COPD, both in lower hospitalization risk and better survival, the researchers pointed out. The mechanism could be decreasing systemic inflammation, improving lung efficiency, or strengthening lung muscles, but reverse causation and unmeasured confounding were possible as well, they acknowledged. Their study included 543 consecutive stable COPD patients seen at five outpatient respiratory clinics affiliated with a single Spanish hospital who self-reported physical activity at baseline and 2-year follow-up, from which the change in activity was calculated.
