Participants in both groups, pedometer plus website or pedometer alone, were instructed to wear the Omron pedometer every day for 3 months when stable and during clinically significant medical events.17 (link) They were asked to upload step-count data via the study website. The pedometer plus website group received weekly step-count goals and access to motivational and educational content on the website.16 (link),17 (link) At study entry, persons in the pedometer alone group received written materials about exercise in COPD. During the study, they received no instructions to exercise and were not assigned step-count goals.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
