Interventions

The intervention group will participate in a 4-month physical exercise training programme in a physiotherapy setting. This programme consists of a combination of endurance/interval training, resistan

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. COPD patients visiting their general practitioner because of dyspnoea, impaired exercise capacity and/or a reduced quality of life; 2. Bronchus obstruction detected by spirometry: FEV1/FVC-ratio 50% predicted (= mild or moderate COPD / GOLD I or II); 3. MRC-score 2 or more; 4. Not meeting the level of exercise performance as defined by the Dutch Standard of Healthy Physical Exercise; 5. Competent enough in speaking the Dutch language.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Patients who already receive or have received a physical exercise training programme or rehabilitation therapy in the past year; 2. Patients who have had respiratory tract infections within the last 8 weeks; 3. Presence of serious co-morbid conditions which would interfere with regular exercise training (severe orthopaedic, muscular, or neurological disorders and cardiovascular conditions liable to be aggravated by exercise).

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Primary outcome measure will be the functional exercise capacity measured by the increase in six Minute Walking Distance (6MWD) at 4 months compared to baseline.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Secondary outcome measures will be: - peripheral muscle strength (measured with a handheld dynamometer) - physical activity (assessed by a pedometer) ' - specific health related quality of life (assessed by questionnaires) - global perceived effect of the treatment according to the patients (measured on a GPE scale). There will also be some exploratory outcome measures, for example lung function, general health status, motivation and some safety and feasibility parameters.	—
