Abstract
BACKGROUND Validating walking trails is essential to promote physical activity (PA) safely and confidently in people with COPD. OBJECTIVES We aimed to validate predetermined light, moderate, and vigorous intensities of walking trails in people with COPD. METHODS This cross-sectional study included individuals with COPD walking in predetermined light, moderate and vigorous intensity trails. Activity intensity and volume outcomes were collected. Dyspnoea and fatigue (modified Borg scale), energy expenditure (EE, Sensewear), heart rate (HR, HR monitor), time spent in different PA intensities, and cadence (ActiGraph) were recorded and used to classify PA intensity. RESULTS Twenty people with COPD [71(7) years, 80 % male, FEV1%predicted 65.6(11.6)] were included. Fatigue differed significantly between light and moderate [3.0(2.0;4.0) vs 3.4(2.5;4.5), p = 0.01], but not vigorous (3.5[2.5-4.0]) tracks. Dyspnoea [2.3(1.5) vs 2.7(1.6) vs 2.6(1.4)], EE [5.1(0.8) vs 4.9(0.5) vs 4.6(0.8) METs], HR [92.5(11.1) vs 93.7(18.6) vs 95.4(15.0) beats/min] and cadence [115.1(104.0;120.3) vs 104.7(99.6;117.6) vs 111.2(99.9;118.5) steps/min] were similar across trails (p > 0.05). Time spent in light and moderate PA, EE volume, walking time, and step count increased along with the proposed intensity levels (p < 0.01). Walking trails were categorised as moderate intensity in most participants. CONCLUSION Walking trails were safe and valid for practising moderate-intensity PA in people with COPD. Participants adjusted their physiological responses and perceived symptoms to match a moderate intensity.

Abstract
This article summarises some of the outstanding sessions that were (co)organised by the Allied Respiratory Professionals Assembly during the 2023 European Respiratory Society International Congress. Two sessions from each Assembly group are outlined, covering the following topics: Group 9.01 focuses on respiratory physiology techniques, specifically on predicted values and reference equations, device development and novel applications of cardiopulmonary exercise tests; Group 9.02 presents an overview of the talks given at the mini-symposium on exercise training, physical activity and self-management at home and outlines some of the best abstracts in respiratory physiotherapy; Group 9.03 highlights the nursing role in global respiratory health and presents nursing interventions and outcomes; and Group 9.04 provides an overview of the best abstracts and recent advances in behavioural science and health psychology. This Highlights article provides valuable insight into the latest scientific data and emerging areas affecting the clinical practice of Allied Respiratory Professionals.
