What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Measure of physical activity

    Changes will be measured using the Yale Physical Activity Survey (YPAS). The tool is composed of two sections - (a) amount of physical activity/exercise performed during a typical week in the past month and (b) activities performed in the past month. The final index score is the sum of five individual indices (vigorous, leisurely walking, moving, standing and sitting). Scores on the scale range from 0 to 137. The higher the score the more active a person.

    Measured: Change from Baseline to Week 12

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Quality of Life

    The COPD Assessment Test (CAT) will be used to measure the health status of the subjects. The test has eight questions. Each question has a range from 0-5. The total score for the test ranges from 0 to 40. The higher the score the more severe a person's COPD.

    Measured: Change from Baseline to Week 12

  2. Adherence to physical activity requirements

    Patients receive an individualized exercise plan (minutes and days per week). Adherence to physical activity is assessed by the proportion of weeks subjects achieve their planned physical activity time.

    Measured: Week 12

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?
