Summary

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of disability. Individuals with COPD are more likely to spend prolonged periods of time in sedentary behaviour (SB) and less in light physical activity compared to their healthy peers. SB is associated with exercise intolerance, reduced motivation to exercise, lower self-efficacy and more frequent acute exacerbations among people with COPD. To date, there is very limited information regarding behavioural approaches to reduce SB in people with COPD. The aim of this study is to examine the feasibility of a new 4-week theory-informed behaviour change intervention to reduce SB in individuals with COPD.
