Study Summary

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most common chronic illnesses in the adult population and accounts for approximately 25,000 discharges from VA hospitals in a calendar year. In addition to the burden put on the health care system, COPD is a disabling condition that adversely affects functional status and quality of life (QOL). Several reports have suggested that exercise training programs can reduce the frequency of hospitalization for COPD; however, these reports have important methodological limitations and such programs have not been widely implemented in the VA health care system. Although the underlying lung pathology of COPD may be unalterable, physical reconditioning has been clearly demonstrated to improve cardiorespiratory status in COPD patients. These physiologic changes have the potential to substantially improve QOL and reduce functional disability. Moreover, improved cardiorespiratory reserve may decrease the utilization of health care resources during mild to moderate exacerbation of COPD.
