Text: Compared with education alone, comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation produced a significantly greater increase in maximal exercise tolerance (+1. 5 metabolic equivalents [METS] compared with +0. 6 METS [P < 0. 001] ; maximal oxygen uptake, +0. 11 L/min compared with +0. 03 L/min [P = 0. 06]), exercise endurance (+10. 5 minutes compared with +1. 3 minutes [P < 0. 001]), symptoms of perceived breathlessness (score of -1. 5 compared with +0. 2 [P < 0. 001]) and muscle fatigue (score of -1. 4 compared with -0. 2 [P < 0. 01]), shortness of breath (score of -7. 0 compared with +0. 6 [P < 0. 01]), and self-efficacy for walking (score of +1. 4 compared with +0. 1 [P < 0. 05]).
