Summary

This project plans on a community-based exercise intervention (Urban Training) combined with therapeutic education program, by using public spaces and urban walkable trails, adapted to each patient needs and capabilities in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The main objective of the present study is to evaluate the effects comparing different levels of supervision (face-to-face vs telematic) in the short-, medium- and long-term with respect to: (primary outcome): exercise capacity, and (secondary outcomes): physical activity, quality of life, mental health and COPD exacerbations.

Detailed description

It is a single-blind randomized clinical trial study. Each participant will be randomly assigned to one of the following groups: (1) Urban training Intervention + therapeutic education program with face-to-face supervision, (2) Urban training Intervention + therapeutic education program with telematic supervision Each exercise training program will be applied once per day, 3 sessions per week during 12 weeks. The group with Urban training Intervention with face-to-face supervision will be supervised by a physiotherapist once a week. The group with Urban training Intervention with telematic supervision will be supervised by a phone call once a week. To record compliance, participants from all groups were asked to complete a diary at the end of every training session. The therapeutic education program will consisted of 1 session/week during 4 weeks. Participants received baseline assessments at the beginning of the intervention, post-intervention assessments at the end of the 13th week, 6 months of follow-up and 12 months of follow-up.
