This European Respiratory Society (ERS) statement provides a comprehensive overview on physical activity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A multidisciplinary Task Force of experts representing the ERS Scientific Group 01.02 “Rehabilitation and Chronic Care” determined overall scope this through consensus. Focused literature reviews were conducted key topic areas final content Statement was agreed upon by all members. The current knowledge regarding COPD is...
<h3>Rationale</h3> Reduced physical activity (PA) in patients with COPD is associated a poor prognosis. Increasing PA key therapeutic target, but thus far few strategies have been found effective this patient group. <h3>Objectives</h3> To investigate the effectiveness of 12-week semiautomated telecoaching intervention on multicentre European randomised controlled trial. <h3>Methods</h3> 343 from six centres, encompassing wide spectrum disease severity, were randomly allocated to either usual...
Pulmonary hypertension is a serious complication of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that currently has no established pharmacological treatment. This study aimed to assess whether concomitant treatment with sildenafil would enhance the results rehabilitation in patients COPD and increased arterial pressure (PAP). In this double-blind, randomised controlled trial received 20 mg or placebo three times daily underwent for 3 months. The primary end-point was gain cycle endurance...
No current patient-centred instrument captures all dimensions of physical activity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Our objective was item reduction and initial validation two instruments to measure COPD. Physical assessed a 6-week, randomised, two-way cross-over, multicentre study using PROactive draft questionnaires (daily clinical visit versions) monitors. Item followed an iterative process including classical Rasch model analyses, input from patients experts. 236 COPD...
The present study aims to describe the pattern of physical activity and frequency, duration intensity bouts in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), assess how these patterns differ according COPD severity, explore whether meet general guidelines for older adults. 177 (94% male, mean±sd age 71±8 years forced expiratory volume 1 s 52±16% predicted) wore SenseWear Pro2 Armband accelerometer eight consecutive days. Physical were defined as periods ≥10 min above 1.5...
There is a need to increase and maintain physical activity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We assessed 12-month efficacy effectiveness of the Urban Training intervention on COPD patients. This randomised controlled trial ( NCT01897298 ) allocated 407 from primary hospital settings 1:1 usual care (n=205) or (n=202). consisted baseline motivational interview, advice walk urban trails designed for outdoor public spaces other optional components feedback,...
Maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures (PImax/PEmax) reference equations obtained in healthy people are needed to correctly interpret respiratory muscle strength. Currently, no clear cut-off points defining weakness available. We aimed establish sex-specific for PImax/PEmax a large sample of adults objectively determine weakness.A multicentre cross-sectional study was conducted across 14 Spanish centres. Healthy non-smoking volunteers aged 18-80 years stratified by sex age were...
Concepts of disease severity, activity, control and responsiveness to treatment are linked but different. Severity refers the loss function organs induced by process or occurrence severe acute exacerbations. may vary over time needs regular follow-up. Control is degree which therapy goals currently met. These concepts have evolved for asthma in guidelines, task forces consensus meetings. The aim this paper generalize approach uniform definition presented WHO chronic allergic associated...
The present study aims to disentangle the independent effects of quantity and intensity physical activity on risk reduction chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) hospitalisations.177 patients from Phenotype Characterization Course COPD (PAC-COPD) cohort (mean±sd age 71±8 years, forced expiratory volume in 1 s 52±16% predicted) wore SenseWear Pro 2 Armband accelerometer (BodyMedia, Pittsburgh, PA, USA) for eight consecutive days, providing data (steps per day, physically active days...

<h3>Background</h3> Study of the causes reduced levels physical activity in patients with COPD has been scarce and limited to biological factors. <h3>Aim</h3> To assess relationship between novel socio-environmental factors, namely dog walking, grandparenting, neighbourhood deprivation, residential surrounding greenness proximity green or blue spaces, amount intensity patients. <h3>Methods</h3> This cross-sectional study recruited 410 from five Catalan municipalities. Dog walking...
Telecoaching approaches can enhance physical activity (PA) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, their effectiveness is likely to be influenced by intervention-specific characteristics.This study aimed assess the acceptability, actual usage, and feasibility of a complex PA telecoaching intervention from both patient coach perspectives link these intervention.We conducted mixed-methods based on completers group (N=159) included an (effective) 12-week...
The Daily-PROactive and Clinical visit-PROactive Physical Activity (D-PPAC C-PPAC) instruments in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) combines questionnaire with activity monitor data to measure patients' experience of physical activity. Their amount, difficulty total scores range from 0 (worst) 100 (best) but require further psychometric evaluation.To test reliability, validity responsiveness, define minimal important difference (MID), the D-PPAC C-PPAC instruments, a large...
(1) Background and aim: This study aimed to investigate the impact of prehabilitation on postoperative outcomes heart transplantation its cost-effectiveness. (2) Methods: single-center, ambispective cohort included forty-six candidates for elective from 2017 2021 attending a multimodal program consisting supervised exercise training, physical activity promotion, nutritional optimization, psychological support. The course was compared control patients transplanted 2014 those contemporaneously...
