The studies in this thesis evaluated the physical activity (PA) in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), identified strategies to optimise PA, determined the effects of a supervised walking training program on performance during the endurance shuttle walk test (ESWT) and determined the minimal detectable difference for the ESWT.The measurement techniques used included: PA using motion sensors; HRQoL assessment; Fear of Falling Questionnaire, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale; and functional exercise testing. | |
