People with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are very sedentary; increasing light physical activity (LPA) may help to promote long-term maintenance of physical activity.
We evaluated feasibility and acceptability of Active for Life with COPD, a self-efficacy-enhancing intervention designed to increase LPA.
The 10-week intervention included walking, functional circuit training, and behavioral and educational strategies. Measures included attrition, adherence, objectively measured physical activity, and qualitative interviews.
Thirty-six subjects enrolled in the study; 26 completed the intervention and 19 completed the two-month follow-up. Subjects reported the intervention was enjoyable and beneficial, but disliked the activity log and buddy system. Subjects increased mean time spent standing/stepping by 36 (SD = 82) min/24 h (P > 0.05); they retained a gain of 21 (SD = 88) min/24 h at the two-month follow-up (P > 0.05).
The Active for Life with COPD intervention is feasible, acceptable, and may support long term maintenance of physical activity.
患有慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)的人通常久坐不动;增加轻度体力活动(LPA)可能有助于促进长期维持体力活动。
我们评估了“积极生活与 COPD”的可行性和可接受性,这是一种旨在增加 LPA 的自我效能增强干预措施。
为期 10 周的干预包括步行、功能性电路训练以及行为和教育策略。测量指标包括失访率、依从性、客观测量的体力活动以及定性访谈。
36 名受试者参加了这项研究;26 名受试者完成了干预,19 名受试者完成了两个月的随访。受试者报告称,该干预措施令人愉快且有益,但不喜欢活动日志和伙伴系统。受试者的平均站立/踏步时间增加了 36(SD=82)分钟/24 小时(P>0.05);在两个月的随访中,他们保持了 21(SD=88)分钟/24 小时的增长(P>0.05)。
“积极生活与 COPD”干预措施是可行的、可接受的,并且可能支持长期维持体力活动。
