Abstract
Condition or domain being studied
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease (COPD) is defined as a preventable and treatable disease characterised by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible (GOLD, 2010). COPD is now the third leading cause of mortality worldwide (British Thoracic Society, 2006). The main cause for hospitalisations in COPD is exacerbations of respiratory symptoms (World Health Organisation, 2012).

To assess the efficacy of continued supervised exercise training following completion of pulmonary rehabilitation on COPD-related health status.
