This trial is testing whether doing breathing and exercise rehabilitation at moderate altitude helps people with COPD breathe better. Researchers will measure how well your airways are working before and after the rehabilitation program, and compare results between people training at moderate altitude, people training at regular altitude with extra oxygen, and people training at regular altitude with normal air.
Many people with COPD struggle with airway resistance and difficulty breathing during exercise. This study wants to find out if training at moderate altitude — where there is less oxygen in the air — might help strengthen breathing and improve how the airways function, possibly better than training at regular altitude.
You will join one of three groups: one group will train at moderate altitude, one group will train at regular altitude while receiving extra oxygen through a nasal tube, and one group will train at regular altitude with normal air. All groups will do pulmonary rehabilitation (breathing exercises and supervised training). Before and after the program, your airways will be measured using a special breathing test called the forced oscillation technique, which is quick and non-invasive.
