Each patient will perform 4 visits over a period of 4-week. Fifty subjects with COPD and fifty subjects with heart failure will be recruited for the same protocol.
During the first visit, the subject will realize two 6-MWT and a cardiopulmonary exercise test on ergocycle with the measure of cardiorespiratory parameters. We will evaluate the physical activity during daily life using an accelerometer and we will use several questionnaires to measure the quality of life, the motivation to physical activities and symptoms.
During the second visit, the subject will realize a 4-meter walk test, two incremental shuttle walk tests (ISWT), an endurance shuttle walk test (ESWT) and a test with dynamometer to measure the quadriceps strength.
During the third and fourth visits, the subject realize two or three endurance walking tests (Walk-Time Limit Test - WTLT) at a walking speed equivalent to the mean speed realize during the better 6MWT (visit 1)
