Summary
This study tests a 12-week pulmonary rehabilitation program for people with stable COPD. The program includes hospital sessions (education, exercise, nutrition advice, smoking cessation) and home exercises (walking, strength training). Researchers will measure how far participants can walk in six minutes to see if the program improves their exercise capacity and symptoms.
