Abstract

|
|
|
Physical activity (PA) is defined as bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles with energy expenditure beyond resting levels. PA has been reported to reduce the incidence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and COPD. Physical inactivity appears to be more common in patients with COPD than in age-matched healthy individuals and patients with other chronic diseases. Reduction in PA starts early in the disease, even when subjects are not yet diagnosed with COPD. PA is closely related to goals for treatment of stable COPD, including relieving symptoms, improving exercise tolerance and health status, preventing disease progression and exacerbations, and reducing mortality. In patients with COPD, PA is shown to be associated with dyspnea, lung function, exercise performance, exacerbations, and comorbidities. However, most of the studies are cross-sectional. Therefore, it is not possible to draw conclusions regarding the directionality of the established associations. It is important to improve PA in subjects with COPD in terms of morbidity and mortality. PA should be encouraged in all the stages of COPD patients to live longer and healthier.
