The purpose of this study is to determine, if it exists, a relation between plateau heart rate from the last 3 minutes of the 6-minute stepper test and heart rate from first ventilatory threshold from cardiopulmonary exercise testing in order to individualise pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with mild to moderate chronicle obstructive pulmonary disease.

Relation between plateau heart rate (bpm) from the first and last 3 minutes of the 6-minute stepper test and heart rate (bpm) from first ventilatory threshold from cardiopulmonary exercise testing.
Timeframe: Heart rate (bpm) will be assessed during cardiopulmonary exercise testing with electrocardiogram. During the 2 6-minute stepper test, heart will be assessed with oximeter. All theses tests wil be carried out in a total time frame of 3 month maximum.
