Summary

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to study the effect of an individual counseling session on the level of physical activity and motivation to practice physical exercise in individuals with COPD. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

• Does a counseling session improve the level of physical activity and motivation to practice physical exercise in individuals with COPD?

Participants will perform a respiratory rehabilitation program (Control Group, CG) and a respiratory rehabilitation program and the counseling session (Experimental Group, EG).

Researchers will compare EG to CG to see if there is any difference in physical activity level and motivation to exercise between groups.

Physical Activity Counseling session

The counseling session on physical activity was carried out individually, six weeks after starting the respiratory rehabilitation program, with an average duration of 30 minutes, based on the guidelines of the Living Well with COPD program.
