Exercise training to improve walking and daily activities in COPD
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies whether doing a combination of endurance exercises can help people with COPD walk better and do everyday activities with less limitation. It compares an exercise approach aimed at improving walking function and daily movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
