Intervention model description: A convenience sample of adults living with COPD (N=4-6) will be recruited to participate an 8- week online exercise intervention.The objective is to conduct a proof-of-concept online exercise intervention for individuals living with COPD, using functional tasks, and incorporating peer support.
Primary purpose: SUPPORTIVE_CARE

Brief summary: This study aims to find a new way to get individuals living with COPD to become and stay active during and after an exercise intervention. In this study, individuals living with COPD will participate in an online exercise intervention. The exercises included in this intervention are based in individuals' activities of daily living. Additionally, during this intervention, individuals with COPD will participate in peer support sessions and will be taught and encouraged to discuss eight behaviour change techniques that have been shown to help support increased participation in physical activity and/or exercise. The goal of this study is to test out this new protocol and determine if it is feasible to recreate on a larger scale and if it is acceptable for the COPD community.
