Overview
Brief Summary
This study aims to find a new way to get individuals living with COPD to become and stay active during and after an exercise intervention. In this study, individuals living with COPD will participate in an online exercise intervention. The exercises included in this intervention are based in individuals' activities of daily living. Additionally, during this intervention, individuals with COPD will participate in peer support sessions and will be taught and encouraged to discuss eight behaviour change techniques that have been shown to help support increased participation in physical activity and/or exercise. The goal of this study is to test out this new protocol and determine if it is feasible to recreate on a larger scale and if it is acceptable for the COPD community.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Individuals must be at least 18 years of age, have no diagnosed cognitive impairment, have a COPD diagnosis (any stage), be medically able to participate in exercise (confirmed by healthcare professional in the past 2 years), have access to a computer with a camera and internet, and speak English or French.
Exclusion Criteria
- •less than 18 years of age, diagnosed with a cognitive impairment, not diagnosed with COPD by a medical professional, unable to participate in exercise or unconfirmed in the past 2 years from a medical professional, no access to a computer and internet.
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Participant Adherence
Time Frame: 8 weeks
Intervention adherence will be measured be taking attendance for each session (2 x 8 weeks = 16 sessions). Intervention feasibility as an indicator of success will be an overall program adherence rate of 70% (approximately 11 sessions attended by all participants, respectively)
Goal Participation
Time Frame: 8 weeks
Participant goal participation will be measured by improvement in initial goals set at the beginning of the study using the Canadian Occupation Performance Measures (COPM). Success will be determined by calculating individuals change score on their satisfaction with their performance in their target areas. A change score of 2 on an item is said to represent significant change (Law et al., 2000). A change score of at least 2 on 50% of items (dependent on personal goals) for 70% of participants will be the indicator of success.
Participant Engagement
Time Frame: 8 weeks
Participant engagement will be measured by counting the number of unique topics brought up by each participant. The indicator of success will be that each participant initiates 1 topic of conversation in 70% of session (initiates 11 conversations during program)
