Exercise Training in Chronic Lung Disease

Download PDF, 1.86MB, PDF

Chronic lung disease is a type of disease that affects your lungs and other parts of your respiratory system (organs and tissues that help you to breathe). With chronic lung disease, you may develop a lower exercise tolerance, which means you will only be able to endure a shorter time during exercise before feeling breathless and tired.

If left unaddressed, it may lead to a decreased ability to perform activities of daily living (e.g. dressing, showering) with ease, and may also cause you to feel breathless at rest.


By exercising, you will have: 

  • ​Better control of breathlessness (difficulty breathing)
  • Increased muscle mass and strength
  • Higher exercise tolerance
  • More confidence in your own abilities 
  • Improved quality of life (higher standards of health, comfort and happiness) ​​
