Summary

This study tests whether adding blood flow restriction to low-intensity aerobic exercise helps people with COPD more than standard pulmonary rehabilitation. 34 adults aged 40-80 with stable COPD will be split into two groups: one doing standard rehab, the other adding blood flow restriction. Researchers will measure changes in exercise capacity, inflammation, and quality of life over 8 weeks.
