Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study. Participants were medically stable COPD patients and able to use LINE and YOUTUBE in cellphone. They voluntarily choose to participate in control group, booklet group or video groups to conduct 6-week tele-based resisted exercise program. Patients in control group received conventional intervention and exercise instruction booklet. Participants in booklet and video groups additionally received a COPD exercise package with 2 elastic bands in different weight (4 ponds and 8 ponds). Participants in booklet group received the exercise instructed in education booklet with words and pictures. Patients in video group received exercise instructed using YouTube videos. Both participants in booklet and video groups were asked to record their rating of perceived exertion (RPE) scores. A physical therapist would weekly contact them to monitor and modify the exercise intensity using their RPE scores. The videos included 5-minute breathing reeducation, 20-minute interval strengthening exercise and 5-minute education animation. All patients were assessed the performance of spirometry, cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), questionnaires about symptoms, QoL, muscle strengths and distances of 6-minute walk test (6MWT) before intervention, after intervention and after 6-week follow-up.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control group
Patients in control group received the education booklet with words and pictures.
Education
COPD patients conduct pulmonary rehabilitation for 6 weeks by read an education booklet with words and pictures which is made by the physiotherapist.
Video group
Patients in intervention group watched YOUTUBE videos to rehab and recorded the intensity after the exercise by RPE scores. During the intervention, a physical therapist would have weekly telephone calls or LINE calls for 6 times to monitor and modify the intensity of exercise.
Video-based pulmonary rehabilitation
COPD patients conduct pulmonary rehabilitation for 6 weeks by watching Youtube videos which were made by the physiotherapist.The patients are monitored by the physiotherapist by weekly phone call and asked to record RPE scores at the RPE form.
Booklet group
Patients in intervention group read education booklet with words and pictures to rehab and recorded the intensity after the exercise by RPE scores. During the intervention, a physical therapist would have weekly telephone calls or LINE calls for 6 times to monitor and modify the intensity of exercise.
Booklet-based pulmonary rehabilitation
COPD patients conduct pulmonary rehabilitation for 6 weeks by read an education booklet with words and pictures which is made by the physiotherapist.The patients are monitored by the physiotherapist by weekly phone call and asked to record RPE scores at the RPE form.
