Strength training study for people with COPD
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a maximal strength training program can help people with COPD who are stable. It is looking at people with moderate-to-severe airflow limitation and excludes several other lung and health problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have COPD diagnosed based on breathing test results (FEV1/FVC under 70% and FEV1 under 50% of predicted).
- Your COPD symptoms are stable right now (not in an acute flare).
- You do not have any other lung disease besides COPD.
- You do not have type 2 diabetes or other significant metabolic diseases.
- You have not had a respiratory infection in the past 4 weeks.
- You do not need long-term oxygen therapy on a daily/ongoing basis.

This trial tests whether a special exercise program can help repair lung tissue in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It aims to find new ways to improve lung health and quality of life.
This study tests whether doing high-intensity strength training (like lifting weights) helps people recover faster after a serious COPD flare-up that required a hospital stay. It's for people who are stable enough to walk and don't have other major health issues.
This study tests whether a type of strength training can help reduce muscle weakness in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It may help improve your ability to exercise and day-to-day function.
This study tests whether a very intense, short burst of exercise (supramaximal high-intensity interval training) is safe and effective for people aged 60 and older with or without COPD. It aims to see if this type of exercise can improve fitness and daily life.
This study tests a new type of exercise training called isoinertial training (using special equipment that adjusts resistance as you move) for people with moderate to severe COPD. The goal is to see if this training can help improve your breathing, strength, and ability to do daily activities.
