Summary
This study looks at whether high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can help repair lung tissue in people with severe COPD who are waiting for lung volume reduction surgery. Twenty-four participants will be randomly assigned to either a HIIT exercise program or usual care. Researchers will measure changes in lung proteins, tissue mass, and breathing function to see if exercise can actually regenerate the lungs.
