Brief Summary   This study is a randomized, double-blind, parallel group, single-centre trial to determine the effect of inspiratory muscle training on exercise capacity, dyspnea and cardiac autonomic function in individuals with COPD. The recruited subjects will be randomized in two-groups: group-A (experimental group) and group-B (control group). Group-A will be given inspiratory muscle training and pulmonary rehabilitation and group-B will be given sham training and pulmonary rehabilitation, three times a week for eight weeks. The primary outcome is exercise capacity, will be measured with six-minute walk distance, secondary outcomes are dyspnea and cardiac autonomic function will be measured with rate of perceived exertion and heart rate variability respectively. The outcomes will be assessed at time points T0 (at the time of allotment) and T1 (after the training).
