Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Exercise training is the key component of respiratory rehabilitation.The success of long-term program resides in the integration between exercise prescription and patients'compliance with home training. This can be difficult for patients, especially in terms of understanding the exercise intensity.

This study is designed to evaluate different methods of exercise training at home, to help understanding and maintaining the walking intensity in COPD patients. Outcome: exercise performance, daily physical activity and respiratory function.
