Patients in the exercise/VF group showed significant improvements in exercise duration, and those in the exercise only group did much better than those in the VF only group. Patients in the exercise/VF group showed a greater reduction in exercise-induced hyperinflation than patients in the other two groups.

The study was published in the April 15 issue of the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.

If COPD patients can be taught to use the computer program-associated breathing techniques while they do normal daily activities, they may be able to greatly improve their quality of life, Collins said.
