Abstract. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by persistent inflammation of the lower respiratory tract, impaired mucociliary activity, and emphysematous destruction of the lungs, resulting in irreversible airflow limitation. These clinical signs sharply limit the physical activity of patients and lead to a decrease in quality of life and disability
