Progression of physical inactivity in COPD patients: the effect of time and climate conditions – a multicentre prospective cohort study

Abstract: Longitudinal data on the effect of time and environmental conditions on physical activity (PA) among COPD patients are currently scarce, but this is an important factor in the design of trials to test interventions that might impact on it. Thus, we aimed to assess the effect of time and climate conditions (temperature, day length and rainfall) on progression of PA in a cohort of COPD patients. Patients and methods: This is a prospective, multicenter, cohort study undertaken as part of the EU/IMI PROactive proj… Show more

“…A post-pulmonary rehabilitation maintenance programme showed encouraging results (although not a randomised trial) with the intervention group maintaining exercise capacity and HRQoL for 4 years and breathlessness scores for 5 years postrehabilitation [10]. However, maintaining physical activity levels in COPD patients may be difficult if they live in a rainy climate [11].…”
