      <i_freetext>Intervention group: The intervention group will include 5 COPD patients at Stage 3 &amp; 4. First, Informed consent form will be provided for Participants and will be completed by Patient or in the case of necessity, with the supervision of the witness or legal guardian of the patient. then the patients will participate in two pre-test and post-test steps. to determine peak exercise capacity and cardio-respiratory fitness (CRF), or the risk of heart disease and the hidden ischemia; Cardio Pulmonary Exercise Testing and the health screening tests before activity based on the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) guidelines, will be taken with supervision of Sports medicine physician. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) will be done at the hospital or Medical center. Muscle functional tests ( Muscular strength and endurance, Body Composition, and flexibility) will be done In partnership with Nursing staff In the Sports Science department laboratory. After completing the above steps, Patients will take part in the 6-week exercise rehab intervention, 3 days per week; Including the interval aerobic exercise and inspiratory muscle training (IMT). 24 to 48 hours after the end of the Exercise intervention, the above mentioned tests will be carried out as a post-test to assess the changes and adaptations created in the pulmonary, cardiac and muscular indicators. Interval aerobic exercise program; will be performed as walking or cycling on a treadmill or cycle ergometer. during this period; Heart rate and ECG, Arterial oxygen saturation percentage (SaO2), and blood pressure will be monitored using the Vital signs monitor and Pulse Oximeter. the intensity of the aerobic exercise program: 30 to 40% (low intensity) and 60 to 80% (high intensity) peak heart rate achieved during cardiopulmonary exercise testing. the high-intensity stage time is 2 minute and the low-intensity stage is 3 minutes. Interval exercise time for the first and second weeks, 20 minutes; Third and fourth weeks, 25 minutes; and the fifth and sixth weeks, will be 30 minutes. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) program: 3 days per week with the 30% of maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) resulted from plethysmography test, for 15 minutes per session using inspiratory muscle training device POWERbreathe™. duration of each training session respectively in the first and second weeks 50 minutes, 3rd and 4th weeks 55 minutes, and in the 5th and 6th weeks will be 60 minutes..</i_freetext>
