Summary
This study tested whether a home-based exercise program using an exergaming (video-game exercise) system, supervised remotely by a physiotherapist, could improve physical fitness and quality of life in people with COPD. 92 participants were randomly assigned to either the exergaming program or usual care for 12 weeks. The main goal was to see if the exergaming group improved their ability to stand up from a chair repeatedly in one minute, a measure of physical fitness.
