Keywords
Yoga, COPD, rehabilitation
Brief summary
COPD patients will be recruited and assigned into one of each group: 1) Control group or 2) Yoga group. In Yoga groups, subjected will be asked to participate in Modified Dantien Yoga training for 12 weeks (3 times/week, 60 min/time). The subjects will be evaluated their pulmonary function, functional fitness performance, dyspnea score, and quality of life at baseline and after 12 wk training.
Interventions
The intervention aims to improve pulmonary function and functional fitness.
