Brief Summary  

This study is a feasibility randomized controlled trial titled Telerehabilitation Exercise Training on Pulmonary Function in People with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. The objective is to evaluate the effect of telerehabilitation exercise training on pulmonary function in COPD patients. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a conventional exercise group or a tele rehabilitation group. The intervention lasts 8 weeks with supervised sessions and home based exercises in both groups. The tele rehabilitation group receives additional weekly video supervised exercise sessions. Primary outcomes include pulmonary function tests, exercise capacity, fatigue, dyspnoea and quality of life measures assessed at baseline and post intervention. Safety adherence and adverse events will be monitored throughout the study aims to establish feasibility safety and clinical benefits of telerehabilitation as a scalable alternative to traditional pulmonary rehabilitation in COPD.
