Brief Summary

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

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterised by non-reversible bronchial obstruction associated with systemic disorders and comorbid factors. Dynamic hyperinflation during an exercise increase dyspnea and can reduce exercise capacity. Stair climbing is associated with prolonged dynamic hyperinflation and severe dyspnea in COPD patients. The aim of this study is to carry out the effect of an energy conservation technique on dyspnea to facilitate stair climbing.
