What is COPD?
COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) is a chronic lung condition that makes breathing increasingly difficult. It is a collective term for emphysema and chronic bronchitis and often develops through long-term exposure to harmful substances such as smoke, toxins or fine dust particles.
Why movement matters with COPD
Many people with COPD avoid movement for fear of breathlessness. This can lead to a further decline in fitness and strength. That’s exactly why it’s important to keep moving under professional guidance.
