Primary outcomePrimary: Time Spent in Physical Activity as Measured by Upright Time (Minutes Per Day) Monitored by ActivPal Monitor — 278; 269; 293; 285 minutes per day
Summary
This study examines the effects of an exercise and behavioral program, called Active-Life, to promote physical activity in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. A sedentary lifestyle is very common in older people with chronic disease and if this program is successful it will be used to promote physical activity and improve the health of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
