Read our COPD research guide โThis study doesn't follow the usual testing phases โ it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a type of exercise called high-intensity interval training (HIIT) โ short bursts of intense activity followed by recovery periods โ can improve lung function and blood flow in the lungs for people with COPD. Researchers want to see if six months of supervised HIIT sessions can help your lungs work better and possibly even grow new lung tissue. You would either do the training three times a week or stay in a control group that maintains current habits.
People with COPD often have reduced lung function and blood flow to their lungs, which makes breathing and exercise harder. This study exists to find out whether this specific type of training could be a better way to help improve lung health and quality of life for COPD patients.
If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to either the exercise group or the control group. The exercise group will attend three supervised high-intensity interval training sessions per week for 24 weeks (about 6 months) at a clinic or at home with a trainer. Both groups will have clinic visits before and after the six months, phone check-ins every few weeks to report on exercise habits and any health changes, and will wear activity-tracking devices for five consecutive days at several points during the study to measure daily movement and activity patterns.
