Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of the implementation of walking urban circuits in increasing the level of physical activity and exercise capacity in severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients after being enrolled in a pulmonary rehabilitation program.

Conditions

Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Keywords

Exercise, Physical activity, Rehabilitation, COPD.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• walked in meters in the six minute walking test (6MWT)

  The 6MWT was standardized following international recommendations. Oxygen saturation and heart rate were recorded throughout the test using a pulsioximeter (Digit ® Finger Oximeter, Smiths Medical PM, USA). Dyspnea was evaluated using the modified Borg scale at the beginning and end of the test

  Unlike walking meters of baseline and one year

Study Arms (2)

rehabilitation program more the urban circuit

EXPERIMENTAL

One group, the urban circuit group (UCG), received a triptych that included urban walking circuits,the remaining patients formed the non circuit group (NCG).These circuits can be obtained on the website http://www.mataro.cat/web/portal/ca/salut/salut\_publica/itineraris/index

Other: rehabilitation more the urban circuit

rehabilitation program non circuit group .

EXPERIMENTAL

One group, the urban circuit group (UCG), received a triptych that included urban walking circuits,the remaining patients formed the non circuit group (NCG)

Other: rehabilitation program but not given urbane circuits

Interventions

rehabilitation more the urban circuit OTHER

included in a standard rehabilitation program + the urban circuit. A total of 32 urban walking circuits were developed jointly with the town hall of Mataró(124,000 in habitants)and were included in a triptych called "A PEU, FEM SALUT! Itineraris urbans per Mataró" http://www.mataro.cat/web/portal/ca/salut/salut\_publica/itineraris/index

rehabilitation program more the urban circuit

rehabilitation program but not given urbane circuits OTHER

Only rehabilitation program and general recommendations on physical activity and lifestyle . No urbans circuits.

rehabilitation program non circuit group .
