Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
To assess whether the program helps reduce COPD symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue during daily activities. Quality of life questionnaires will be used.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Exercise therapy is a core component of pulmonary rehabilitation. Regular physical activity helps build endurance, strengthen respiratory muscles, and improve overall functional capacity . Both aerobic and resistance exercises are prescribed according to individual abilities and needs .Studies have shown exercise training can reduce symptoms, increase quality of life, and decrease healthcare utilization among pulmonary patients .Patient education teaches self-management skills like breathing techniques, medication management, coping strategies, and how to prevent or deal with exacerbations . Educating patients empowers them to better understand their condition and play an active role in their care. It also helps address anxiety and depression that often accompany chronic lung disease .
Recent reviews continue to support the benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation's holistic, exercise-education approach meta-analysis found multidisciplinary programs significantly improved outcomes such as hospital admissions compared to usual care . Additionally, study showed telerehabilitation with remote exercise monitoring and video classes achieved comparable benefits to traditional center-based programs . In summary, exercise therapy and education are core components of effective pulmonary rehabilitation

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention group
The intervention group (n=60) will undergo a 12-week pulmonary rehabilitation program. This program will consist of twice-weekly supervised exercise sessions, including aerobic training and resistance exercises targeting the lower limbs.

Control group
The control group (n=60) will receive usual medical care according to guidelines, which may include bronchodilator/anti-inflammatory therapy but no formal pulmonary rehabilitation.
