Summary

This study will explore the a Qigong based exercise intervention, here referred to as Meditative Movement (MM), to ameliorate the symptoms associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and its co-morbidities. It tests the hypothesis that MM will have a beneficial effect on COPD in FA, particularly on functional ability, respiratory symptoms, affective state, inflammation, and autonomic imbalance. If the hypothesis is correct, MM could be rapidly and inexpensively taught to FA with COPD and other COPD patients to slow degeneration and improve quality of life.
