Brief Summary

Chronic Respiratory Diseases (CRDs) are associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, ranking as the third leading cause of death worldwide. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a fundamental evidence-based intervention for the management of a variety of CRDs, such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILDs). However, the benefits of PR tend to decline over time and there is currently no strong evidence that patients translate those benefits into a more active lifestyle. There is an urgent need for evidence-based interventions to promote physical activity (PA) participation, whilst maintaining PR positive effects in the long-term. Community-based PA interventions adjusted to the local context, as well as patients' needs and preferences, might be a key strategy to meet this target. CENTR(AR) will be a sustainable response to support healthy lifestyles and enhance long-term PR benefits, by providing access to PR within Primary Healthcare Centres (PHC), followed by the inclusion in a community-based PA program, which embraces urban facilities and available resources.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in PA levels (time spent in moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA))

    Time spent in MVPA will be collected with the ActiGraph accelerometry-based activity monitors (wGT3X-BT) during for week. Raw data will be downloaded, summed and filtered by the ActiLife software (Version 6.13.4) to determine the average MVPA (min/wk).

    before PR (T0), immediately after PR (T1), and after a 3, 6 and 12 month-period.

Secondary Outcomes (24)

  • Change in PA levels (time spent in sedentary behaviour)

    before PR (T0), immediately after PR (T1), and after a 3, 6 and 12 month-period.

  • Change in step count (steps/day-1)

    before PR (T0), immediately after PR (T1), and after a 3, 6 and 12 month-period.

  • Change in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) - St. George Respiratory Questionnaire

    before PR (T0), immediately after PR (T1), and after a 3, 6 and 12 month-period.

  • Change in exercise capacity/tolerance - 6-minute walk test (6MWT)

    before PR (T0), immediately after PR (T1), and after a 3, 6 and 12 month-period.

  • Change in overall functional status/physical function - Physical Performance Test

    before PR (T0), immediately after PR (T1), and after a 3, 6 and 12 month-period.

  • +19 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Pulmonary Rehabilitation + Community-based PA program

EXPERIMENTAL

After PR, the experimental group will integrate a community-based PA program.

Other: Community-based PA programOther: Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Pulmonary Rehabilitation

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The control group will only receive pulmonary rehabilitation, which integrates PA recommendations.

Other: Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Interventions

After completing the PR program, the experimental group (EG) will enroll in a 6-month personalized community-based PA program, which should be attended twice-weekly, minimum. During the first month the physiotherapist will guide patients through all available physical activities; afterwards, patients will be asked to choose one or two activities, according to their preference, which they'll attend for five more months. Physiotherapists' support will gradually decrease over time.

Pulmonary Rehabilitation + Community-based PA program

Exercise training, twice a week, and education and psychosocial support once every other week during 12 weeks.
