BEHAVIORAL

Pursed lip breathing

Pursed lip breathing will be taught to the participants following the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) Foundation recommendations: 1. Breathe in through your nose (as if you are smelling something) for about 2 seconds. 2. Pucker your lips like you're getting ready to blow out candles on a birthday cake. 3. Breathe out very slowly through pursed-lips, two to three times as long as you breathed in. 4. Repeat.
