What this trial studies

This study investigates the impact of timing on pulmonary rehabilitation for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It aims to determine how the time of day for exercise re-training affects strength, power gains, and aerobic capacity in individuals with respiratory diseases. The program involves at least 18 rehabilitation sessions over four weeks, supervised by medical professionals at the Clinique de la Mitterie. The study focuses on understanding the relationship between circadian rhythms and exercise outcomes in COPD patients.
