Study Summary

This trial will test the feasibility of an 8-week home-based cognitive-physical training program for COPD patients, as well as the efficacy of the program in improving physical and cognitive performance.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 50 with COPD, which is a lung condition that makes it hard to breathe. They should be able to move on their own and have internet access. It's not for people outside this group or those who can't safely do the exercises.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests an 8-week home program combining brain games and physical exercise to see if it helps improve thinking, moving, daily activities, and life quality in COPD patients compared to just physical exercise.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve cognitive games and physical exercises tailored for COPD patients, side effects are minimal but may include muscle soreness or fatigue from the exercises.
