The Effects of a Theory of Planned Behavior-Based Intervention Incorporating Cadence Exercise and Breathing Training on Physiological Parameters and Quality of Life in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Intervention Type: Behavioral, Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of a Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB)-based intervention incorporating cadence exercise and breathing training on physiological parameters and quality of life in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to receive breathing training, cadence exercise, a combined intervention of breathing training and cadence exercise, or usual care. The intervention will be conducted for 12 weeks, with assessments at baseline, Week 8, and Week 12. The study will evaluate changes in physiological parameters, exercise capacity, respiratory muscle strength, and quality of life. The findings may provide evidence for developing behavioral interventions to support pulmonary rehabilitation and improve health outcomes in people with COPD.

Participants
Target number of participants: 200
Treatments
Experimental: Breathing Training Group
Participants in this group will receive a 12-week breathing training intervention based on the Theory of Planned Behavior. Respiratory muscle training will be performed using an adjustable respiratory muscle training device according to the standardized training protocol. Participants will receive instructions and training materials to support adherence to the intervention.
Experimental: Cadence Exercise Group
Participants in this group will receive a 12-week cadence exercise intervention based on the Theory of Planned Behavior. Walking exercise will be performed with a metronome to guide the prescribed cadence according to the standardized training protocol. Participants will receive instructions and training materials to support adherence to the intervention.
Experimental: Combined Breathing Training + Cadence Exercise Group
Participants in this group will receive a 12-week combined intervention consisting of breathing training and cadence exercise based on the Theory of Planned Behavior. Participants will perform breathing training followed by cadence-guided walking exercise according to the standardized training protocol. Instructions and training materials will be provided to support adherence to the intervention.
Active_comparator: Usual Care Group
Participants in this group will receive usual clinical care for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease according to routine clinical practice. No additional breathing training or cadence exercise intervention will be provided as part of the study.
