Physical Activity and Chronic Pulmonary Diseases - Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Hospital
Tajana Jalušić Glunčić
Sažetak
According to the definition, pulmonary rehabilitation programme for chronic pulmonary patients provides a range of personalized interventions used to determine individual exercise therapy, as well as education on the disease and behavioural change, for the purpose of improving physical and mental condition of patients with chronic pulmonary disease. Exercise is an essential component of the pulmonary rehabilitation programme. General principles of exercising in individuals with chronic pulmonary disease do not differ from the principles in healthy individuals or even athletes. For the exercise programme to be effective, the overall training workload has to suit specific individual requirements and exceed everyday workload in order to increase aerobic capacity and muscle strength, with an improvement of exercise capacity over a period of time. Optimal type of exercise for patients with chronic pulmonary diseases has not been established and may vary from individual to individual. Most commonly used mode of exercise is endurance training in the form of cycling on a stationary bike or walking on a treadmill. Nordic walking for one hour per day has proved to be a very successful type of training for an increase in the daily walking distance and overall daily activity. Each patient’s reactions to symptoms associated with exertion intolerance, increased blood pressure, increased heart rate or decrease in saturation are monitored throughout the programme. The programme is supervised and personalized, and it is individually tailored to the capabilities and limitations of each patient. Patient’s visible progress and continued motivation require recommended home exercise and reasonable goals set as part of the programme. After completing the programme, the patient should continue exercising, change lifestyle and increase physical activity for the purpose of improving the quality of life.
