Special Exercise Training for COPD Patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 80 years old
- You have been diagnosed with moderate or severe COPD (chronic lung disease)
- You have not had a sudden worsening of your COPD symptoms in the last 4 weeks
- You are physically able to safely participate in exercise
- You do not have other serious heart, nerve, or bone diseases that would make exercise unsafe for you
- You have not had surgery in the past 3 months

This study tests whether a special treadmill exercise program (combining two types of muscle contractions) helps people with COPD breathe better and exercise longer. You would come to the lab multiple times per week to do supervised workouts on a treadmill.
This trial tests a digital breathing training program for people with moderate to severe COPD. It aims to help strengthen your breathing muscles using a high-intensity device, which may improve your ability to breathe and feel better day to day.
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.
This study tests whether a specialized exercise program can help people with emphysema (a type of COPD) build stronger muscles and feel less weak. The program combines regular aerobic exercise with a technique called blood flow restriction training, which uses a cuff to safely limit blood flow during exercise.
This trial compares different types of breathing muscle exercises for people with COPD. It aims to find which training is most helpful for improving breathing and daily life.
This trial tests a pulmonary rehabilitation (lung exercise) program for people with COPD. It aims to see how daily activities and lung function can improve with a structured at-home exercise plan.
