Interval training for people with chronic respiratory disease
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a special type of exercise training that alternates between working muscles hard and resting, to see if it improves fitness and daily life for people with chronic lung conditions. It may be a good fit if you are already in a pulmonary rehab program.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a chronic respiratory disease
- You have been in a pulmonary rehabilitation program for more than 3 months
- If you have a heart device (ICD), your doctor confirms the device's settings allow safe exercise
- Your doctor says it is safe for you to exercise

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 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 a five-week treadmill exercise program that combines two types of aerobic training to help people with COPD breathe easier and stay active. If you have shortness of breath during daily activities, this could help improve your stamina.
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 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.
This study compares two types of exercise programs for people with COPD: one with short bursts of intense activity (HIIT) and one with steady moderate activity (MICT). It looks at how these exercises affect breathing, lung function, and muscle strength.
