About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease focused on measuring Exercise, Physical activity, Rehabilitation, COPD.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- severe COPD (post-bronchodilator Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)/ Forced vital capacity (FVC) <0.7 and FEV1 <50%) and stable disease defined as no exacerbation, hospital admission or change in treatment in the previous three months.
Exclusion Criteria:
- The exclusion criteria were: other significant respiratory disease (bronchiectasis, lung fibrosis, asthma, etc.), active smoking, severe cardiovascular, neurological, musculoskeletal and/or metabolic pathology that could interfere with the results, alcoholism (>80g/day) or severe malnutrition (BMI<19kg/m2).

Arm Description
One group, the urban circuit group (UCG), received a triptych that included urban walking circuits,the remaining patients formed the non circuit group (NCG).These circuits can be obtained on the website http://www.mataro.cat/web/portal/ca/salut/salut_publica/itineraris/index

Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
walked in meters in the six minute walking test (6MWT)
The 6MWT was standardized following international recommendations. Oxygen saturation and heart rate were recorded throughout the test using a pulsioximeter (Digit ® Finger Oximeter, Smiths Medical PM, USA). Dyspnea was evaluated using the modified Borg scale at the beginning and end of the test

Intervention Description
included in a standard rehabilitation program + the urban circuit. A total of 32 urban walking circuits were developed jointly with the town hall of Mataró(124,000 in habitants)and were included in a triptych called "A PEU, FEM SALUT! Itineraris urbans per Mataró" http://www.mataro.cat/web/portal/ca/salut/salut_publica/itineraris/index
