Activity bursts for better thinking in COPD
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a simple, short bursts of physical activity program can help with thinking and daily tasks in people with COPD who also have mild memory problems. Participants will wear an activity tracker and get messages on their phone to encourage them to move more.
