daily life and health outlook

The role of exercise is to improve QOL, increase skeletal muscle and BMD.

Self maintenance strategies

Exercise training and support

pulmonary rehab

Energy conservation

Nutritional advice

Action plan

Breathing techniques and management

Baseline outcomes and management

Management of comorbidities

Other comorbidities

Considerations for Exercise Testing and program design

Impaired oxidative capacity

Sternal Precautions

Lower portion of Type 1 fibers

Active use of immunosuppressants

Skeletal muscle changes

Week 1

Frequency: 2 days/week, nonconsecutiveIntensity: 60% 1 RMTime: 2-4 sets, 8-12 reps
Frequency: 3 days/wkIntensity: 50% peak work rate, 4-6 on Borg CR10Time: 20-30min

Week 4

Frequency: 2 days/week, nonconsecutiveIntensity: 65% 1 RMTime: 2-4 sets, 8-12 reps
Frequency: 4 days/wkIntensity: 65% peak work rate, 4-6 on Borg CR10Time: 30-45min

Week 8

Frequency: 2-3 days/week, nonconsecutiveIntensity: 70% 1 RMTime: 2-4 sets, 8-12 reps
Frequency: 5 days/wkIntensity: 80% peak work rate, 4-6 on Borg CR10Time: 45-60min
  • Intensity can be monitored by RPE scale
  • SpO2 should be monitored during exercise
  • Encouraged to work at the highest intensity they are able to tolerate
  • Adherence to an exercise program can improve their QOL, increase oxidative capacity and manage other comorbidities
