Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often involves the cardiopulmonary dysfunction that deteriorates health-related quality of life (HRQL) and exercise capacity. Work efficiency (WE) indicates the efficiency of overall oxygen consumption (VO 2 ) during exercise. This study investigated whether different WEs have different effects on pulmonary rehabilitation (PR).
