Physical training improved cardiovascular fitness level among chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients are reported to have cardiovascular instability which leads to greater limitation for activities there by leads to poor quality of life. Physical training proved to be one of the moderators of these limitations. However, uncertainty prevails amon...
