The Effectiveness of Tai Chi Qigong Program on Functional Capacity, Lung Function, and Quality of Life in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most important public health problems worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) predicted that COPD will be ranks as the 5th Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) and the third-leading cause of global death by 2030. Chronic obstruct...
