FITME Study: Formulating Individualised Exercise Prescription in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 1 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This randomised controlled trial aims to: i) compare the power output at the first metabolic threshold (WMT1) between the MT1 and the six-minute walking test (6MWT)-based cardiorespiratory exercise prescriptions in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); ii) compare exercise adherence, peripheral muscle strength, health-related quality of life, dyspnoea, fatigue, disease impact and emotional status between MT1 and 6MWT-based exercise prescriptions. Patients will be recruited via the pulmonology services from Unidade Local de Saúde do Baixo Mondego and Unidade Local de Saúde de Aveiro.
