Eccentric exercise training for COPD patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a special type of exercise (eccentric training) for people with COPD. The goal is to see if it can improve your breathing and daily function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been in a pulmonary rehab program for more than 3 months.
- Your doctor has cleared you for exercise training.
- You do not use oxygen or a breathing machine at home.
- You have not had a serious COPD flare-up (exacerbation) in the last 3 months.
- You do not have severe heart failure or other major heart problems.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 whether a community exercise program can improve health in people with heart or lung problems. It may help if you are not already doing regular, structured exercise.
This study measures how well the right side of your heart works when you are resting and when you exercise, in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It may help researchers better understand COPD-related heart strain and guide future care.
This trial compares two types of exercise training—steady moderate exercise versus short bursts of higher intensity—to see which is more helpful for people with COPD. It aims to find a better way to improve your breathing and fitness.
This study looks at how the right side of your heart responds when you exercise, in people with COPD (a chronic lung condition). The goal is to understand this response better and potentially improve treatments.
This trial tests whether adding a special breathing exercise (inspiratory muscle training) to regular breathing exercises helps people with moderate to severe COPD breathe better. It is for adults between 35 and 50 who are otherwise healthy enough to exercise.
