Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate whether providing feedback on physical activity (PA) levels to patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is feasible and enhances daily PA and health-related outcomes during pulmonary rehabilitation (PR).

Patients will participate in a 12-week PR program and a PA-focused intervention. Patients' daily PA will be monitored during the first (W1), seventh (W7) and 12th (W12) weeks of the PR program using the activity monitors GT3X+ (ActiGraph, Pensacola, FL) and feedback will be given to them in the following weeks. Each participant will also receive individualised recommendations to improve or maintain their PA levels, based on the results of the previous week.

It is expected that, by receiving individualised feedback and goals regarding their PA levels during the PR program, patients with COPD will become more active and improve their health-related outcomes.

Conditions

  • Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) plus PA-focused intervention

Patients will enrol in a 12-week PR program comprising exercise training (3 times per week) and psychosocial support and education sessions (once a week). Patients will also have their PA levels monitored on weeks (W) 1, 7 and 12 and receive feedback in the following weeks.
