Pulmonary rehabilitation integrated coached exercise training for patients with COPD: a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the most common chronic lung disease creating an immense burden on social health care systems. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) has proven to be effective in patients with COPD. However, exercise training as the basis of PR becomes extremely tedious, occasionally causing a loss of perseverance in patients.

Methods

Participants will be randomly divided into the trial and control groups. The trial group will
