High-intensity interval training for lung disease
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether short bursts of intense exercise can improve heart and lung function in people with COPD (a chronic lung condition). It aims to see if this type of training is safe and effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 40 and 79 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with COPD at stage I, II, or III.
- Your shortness of breath is mild to moderate (score 0 to 3 on a breathing scale).
- Your oxygen level at rest is above 90%.
- You have not done pulmonary rehab in the last 3 months.
- You do not have heart disease, heart failure, or other serious health issues.

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 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 trial tests if high-intensity interval training before lung volume reduction surgery can improve lung function in people with COPD. It may help you get stronger for surgery and recover better afterward.
This trial compares high-intensity interval training (HIIT) with moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) for people with COPD. It looks at how these exercises affect oxygen levels, lung function, and muscle strength, and may help you find the best way to improve your health.
This study compares two types of exercise programs (aerobic walking/cycling and high-intensity interval training) for people with interstitial lung disease who are waiting for a lung transplant. The goal is to see which type of exercise helps improve daily function and quality of life.
This study compares two different types of high-intensity interval exercise programs (one shorter, one longer) in people with chronic heart failure. It aims to see which program improves heart health and daily function more.
