Abstract: Because of the limitation of exercise tolerance, the patients tend to adopt and limit those kinds of activities, leading to a decrease in their quality of life. Endurance and strength training was now considered a therapy modality to alleviate several symptoms experienced by Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients. Further, nutrition management as part of the comprehensive treatment of COPD gives an additional impact on improving functional capacity and quality of life in COPD patients. This study aimed to assess the impact of endurance and strength exercise with egg-white supplementation on the quality of life in COPD patients. This was an experimental study with a total of 22 subjects with a consecutive sampling method; 11 participants in the endurance group, and 11 participants in the strength group. Patients were given strength and endurance training with 28 egg-white supplementations each week for 4 weeks. Quality of life was measured byCOPDAssessment Test (CAT).A total of 22 participants were involved in this study. The majority of the subjects were male, smokers with severe Brinkmann Index, and the age was in the range of 60-69 years old. After four weeks of a training session with egg-white supplementations, we can see there was decreases in CAT score (23.81 to 15.72) with a p-value ? 0.05 in endurance training. We also found a significant impact decrease in CAT score (21.72 to 15.63) with a p-value ? 0.05 in strength training. Both endurance and strength training with egg-white supplementation can improve the quality of life in stable COPD patients.
