简要总结
This study will evaluate the effects of Chen-style Tai Chi compared to conventional exercise in pulmonary rehabilitation for COPD patients. Half of participants will receive the Chen-style Tai Chi intervention, while the other half will receive the conventional exercise intervention. Both groups will receive the same eduction and support during pulmonary rehabilitation.

结局指标
主要结局
Change from baseline dyspnea at 12 weeks
时间窗: Baseline, 12 weeks
Dyspnea will be assessed using the chronic respiratory questionnaire (CRQ)
次要结局
- Change from baseline lung function at week 12 (Spirometry and whole-body plethysmography)(Baseline, 12 weeks)
- Change from baseline of composite serum and plasma biomarkers at 12 weeks(Baseline, 12 weeks)
- Change from baseline isokinetic quadriceps muscle function at 12 weeks(Baseline, 12 weeks)
- Change from baseline physical activity at 12 weeks (participants will be equipped with a physical activity monitor)(Baseline, 12 weeks)
- Change from baseline health status at 12 weeks (determined with the COPD Assessment test (CAT).(Baseline, 12 weeks)
- Change from baseline exercise capacity at 12 weeks(Endurance time during a constant work rate bicycle ergometry exercise test)(Baseline, 12 weeks)
- Change from baseline balance (Berg Balance Test (BBT) at 12 weeks(Baseline, 12 weeks)
- Change from baseline walking distance at 12 weeks (distance walked during the six-minute walk test)(Baseline, 12 weeks)
- Change from baseline isometric quadriceps muscle strength at 12 weeks (force of the dominant quadriceps will be measured during a single magnetic stimulation of the femoral nerve)(Baseline, 12 weeks)
- Change from baseline quality of life (QoL) at 12 weeks(Baseline, 12 weeks)
