A Controlled Study of Community-based Exercise Training in Patients With Moderate COPD

The effectiveness of clinic-based pulmonary rehabilitation in advanced Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is well established, but few data exist for less severe patients treated in alternative settings. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a novel, community-based exercise program was feasible and effective for patients with moderate COPD.
