Breathe: This review presents the complex interplay of factors influencing exercise limitations and physical inactivity and how clinicians can address these to improve management of these treatable traits in COPD bit.ly/4bn6IrU

Breathe: Different categories of interventions for increasing physical activity and exercise capacity in the COPD patient are discussed in this review: pharmacological, pulmonary rehabilitation, behavioural and web-based interventions. bit.ly/4dh2NyR
