Résumé
Background
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease limits exercise capacity because airways collapse early during expiration and air becomes trapped in the lungs. Pursed lip breathing is a simple technique that may reduce this problem during exertion.
Objective
To compare the six-minute walk distance of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with and without pursed lip breathing.
