      <i>Background</i>: Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is an effective intervention for the management of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, available resources are often limited, and many patients bear with poor availability of programmes. Sustaining PR benefits and regular exercise over the long term is difficult without any exercise maintenance strategy. In contrast ...
    • Long-Term Telerehabilitation or Unsupervised Training at Home for Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial 

      Zanaboni, Paolo; Dinesen, Birthe; Hoaas, Hanne; Wootton, Richard; Burge, Angela T.; Philp, Rochelle; Oliveira, Cristino Carneiro; Bondarenko, Janet; Jensen, Torben Tranborg; Miller, Belinda; Holland, Anne E. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-08)
      Rationale: Despite the benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), many patients do not access or complete pulmonary rehabilitation, and long-term maintenance of exercise is difficult. Objectives: To compare long-term telerehabilitation or unsupervised treadmill training at home with standard care. Methods: In an international randomized controlled trial, ...
    • Seasonal variations in objectively assessed physical activity among people with COPD in two Nordic countries and Australia: a cross-sectional study 

      Hoaas, Hanne; Zanaboni, Paolo; Hjalmarsen, Audhild; Morseth, Bente; Dinesen, Birthe; Burge, Angela T.; Cox, Narelle S.; Holland, Anne E. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-06-05)
      <i>Purpose</i>: Seasons and weather conditions might influence participation in physical activity and contribute to differences between countries. This study aimed at investigating whether there were differences in physical activity levels between Norwegian, Danish and Australian people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and establishing if any variations in physical activity were ...
