Effects of a physical exercise program on HIF-1 α in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease living at high altitude: study protocol for a clinical trial

DiscussionThe results obtained after the clinical trial proposed here will promote knowledge on the expression of signaling proteins as an adaptive response to hypoxia in people with COPD living at high altitude, which will be relevant because there are not data on this population group. The knowledge generated from the application of this protocol will increase the pathophysiological understanding of the disease and future medical and therapeutic decision-making based on physical exercise prescription.Trial registration {2a}NCT04955977 [ClinicalTrials.gov] —NCT04955977 [WHO ICRTP].
