- Brief Summary
This study is being done to understand body's response to hybrid home-based and on-site rehabilitation program utilizing individually tailored exercises throughout a total of 18 sessions with 12 of them occurring onsite, in people with and without chronic respiratory diseases, such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and in individuals recovered from COVID-19. Exercise training programs vary widely for people with COPD, OSA, and during prolonged recovery from COVID infection. This study will help identify if this program is helpful to address muscle loss and fatigue specifically in populations with and without chronic respiratory diseases.

- Presence of fever within the last 3 days.
- Expected to have surgery within 1 month of screening or during exercise training
- Any other condition according to the PI or research staff that was found during the screening visit, that would interfere with the study or safety of the patient.
- Previous injury that could interfere with participation in resistance exercise protocol.
- Failure to give informed consent or Investigator's uncertainty about the willingness or ability of the subject to comply with the protocol requirements.

Name Time Method COPD Assessment Test up to 8 week Exercise Intervention Self-administered questionnaire regarding impact of COPD on daily life
Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Fatigue (FACIT-F) up to 8 week Exercise Intervention Quality of life concerns related to fatigue will be assessed only in COPD patients with this questionnaire.
C-reactive protein by Blood Analysis up to 8 week Exercise Intervention Differences and changes in the concentration of the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein
Body Composition using Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry bone density up to 8 week Exercise Intervention Measurement of bone mineral density (g/cm\^2)between COPD patients and healthy older adults using DXA
Body Composition using Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry Muscle up to 8 week Exercise Intervention Measurement of muscle mass (kg)
Body Composition using Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry Fat up to 8 week Exercise Intervention Measurement of fat mass (kg)
Bone mineral density by BIA up to 8 week Exercise Intervention Differences in muscle mass (kg), fat mass (kg), and extra- and intracellular fluid (L) between COPD patients and healthy older adults using BIA.
Handgrip strength dynamometry by Handgrip Dynamometer up to 8 week Exercise Intervention Difference and changes in handgrip strength pre and post exercise
Attention and executive functions measured by Trail Making Test (TMT) up to 8 week Exercise Intervention In Part A, the examinee is instructed to connect a set of 25 circles with numbers as quickly as possible while maintaining accuracy. In Part B, the examinee is instructed to connect a set of 25 circles, alternating between numbers and letters, as quickly as possible while maintaining accuracy. Measures attentional resources and is a measure of the frontal lobe "executive" functions of visual search, set-switching and mental flexibility. The total time in seconds will be recorded for each measure.
State of mood as measured by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) up to 8 week Exercise Intervention A fourteen item self-assessment scale. Seven of the items related to anxiety and seven relate to depression. Each item on the questionnaire is scored from 0-3 and this means that a person can score between 0 (no symptoms) and 21 (severe symptoms) for either anxiety or depression.
3-day diet diary up to 8 week Exercise Intervention The subject is asked to note in detail all the food and drinks consumed during 3 days (2 week days and 1 weekend day) in the week prior to each test day.
Group differences in learning and memory as measured by Digit Span up to 8 week Exercise Intervention Recall of numbers in the same order (Digit Forward) and in reverse order (Digit Backward). Measures auditory attention and verbal working memory.
6 minute walk test distance by 6 minute walk test up to 8 week Exercise Intervention With this sub-maximal exercise test, aerobic capacity and endurance will be compared between COPD patients and healthy older adults. The outcome is the distance covered over a time of 6 minutes.
Skeletal muscle strength of leg by Kin-Com up to 8 week Exercise Intervention Difference in muscle strength of leg using kin-com machine between pre and post exercise intervention.
Attention and executive functions measured by Stroop Color-Word Test (SCWT) up to 8 week Exercise Intervention A word page with words printed in black ink, a color page with blocks printed in color, and a color-word page where the color and the word do not match. The examinee reads the words or names the ink colors as quickly as possible within a time limit. Measures selective attention and inhibitory control. The total time in seconds was reported for each trial.
Gut function as reported by "The Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale" up to 8 week Exercise Intervention Self-administered questionnaire regarding gut function and associated symptoms. It is composed of 15 items (7-Point Likert Scale) assessing Reflux, Abdominal pain, Indigestion, Diarrhoea and Constipation. Scores range from 15 to 105 with a higher score indicating more discomfort.
Physical activity as reported by "Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly up to 8 week Exercise Intervention Self-administered questionnaire is intended for use in an elderly population and focuses on 3 types of activities: leisure time activities, household activities and work-related activities.
