Rehabilitation for lung diseases in adults can take place in groups at hospitals, general practitioners&#039; offices, health centers, or community facilities such as community halls or recreation centers.

You may also receive supplemental oxygen to assist you in completing the program.<\/p>\n<h3>Your physical training program could include the following:<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Endurance training<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is usually prescribed 3\u20135 times per week and is continuous exercise lasting 20\u201360 minutes. This could be, for example, walking or cycling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Interval training<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a form of endurance training that incorporates rest periods. The workout consists of high-intensity activity interspersed with regular breaks for lower-intensity exercise or rest. For example, this could involve 30 seconds of cycling at a higher intensity, followed by a 30-second break or slower cycling. This is then repeated several times.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Strength training<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This involves lifting weights to improve muscle strength in your upper and lower limbs. The training specifically targets the muscles in your body that you need for your daily activities, such as dressing, bathing, shopping, and household chores, making these activities easier.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Neuromuscular electrical stimulation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you are experiencing significant problems due to shortness of breath or heart disease, neuromuscular electrical stimulation may be able to help you. This method uses electrical impulses to strengthen the muscles in your legs, thereby improving your physical endurance and performance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Inspiratory muscle training<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This involves exercises that improve your respiratory muscles and your physical performance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Training exercises performed at home<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you live in a rural area and have difficulty traveling, a healthcare professional may be able to come to your home and develop a lung disease rehabilitation program for adults.

This applies to people with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency just as much as to healthy individuals. Researchers have shown that physically active COPD patients experience fewer infections and have fewer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.copd-deutschland.de\/images\/patientenratgeber\/patientenbroschueren\/atemnot.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shortness of breath<\/a> This results in fewer hospital visits, more stable lung function, and a reduction in inflammatory processes in the body. Increased strength and endurance, or less age-related decline, allow individuals to remain independent for longer. A positive impact on survival has also been demonstrated.<\/p>\n<p>Besides the frequency and severity of infections and the extent of inflammation in the body, the level of physical activity is considered a factor influencing the progression of the disease. Many patients with COPD are increasingly getting too little exercise. Researchers define moderate physical activity as 2-4 hours per week of light physical activity. Based on the number of steps taken per day, fewer than 5,000-6,000 steps per day are still considered a sedentary lifestyle. Therefore, aim for 6,000-10,000 steps per day. This is considered an active lifestyle: only then is the amount of exercise sufficient to adequately counteract the decline caused by aging and the disease itself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-2 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone flex_gap_desktop_10px\"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"fws_6a7474255e5f2\"  data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\" data-top-percent=\"5%\"  class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row full-width-section has-row-bg-color\"  style=\"padding-top: calc(100vw * 0.05);

About three-quarters of this breathing work is normally done by the diaphragm. In emphysema, the problem is that the lungs are overinflated.<br \/>\nIt can easily contain 1-2 liters of trapped air. During physical exertion, the situation worsens: breathing becomes increasingly shorter and incomplete; the chest cavity becomes increasingly inflated. In addition to the emphysema at rest, another 1-1.5 liters of air accumulate in the chest cavity \u2013 doctors call this dynamic hyperinflation. This pushes the diaphragm further and further downwards, impairing its function. Instead, the respiratory muscles, which are less effective and require a lot of energy, have to be used more extensively.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the narrowed bronchi themselves (&quot;obstruction&quot;) and the increased pressure in the chest cavity caused by hyperinflation restrict the patency of the bronchi (triggering &quot;shortness of breath&quot;). Compared to healthy individuals, the work of breathing is significantly increased, and a COPD patient expends up to 10-12 times more energy with each breath during exertion.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, under exertion, pursed-lip breathing or the use of a &quot;stenosis&quot; (e.g., a straw) is essential: you form only a small opening with your lips, which creates a backup of air during exhalation, keeping the bronchi more stable and thus open: you can exhale better and more completely (see Fig. 2).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t<div id=\"tab-ausdauertraining-bei-copd\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-title-ausdauertraining-bei-copd\" tabindex=\"0\" data-tab-icon=\"iconsmind-Information\" class=\"wpb_tab ui-tabs-panel wpb_ui-tabs-hide clearfix\"><span class=\"im-icon-wrap tab-icon\"><span><svg role=\"presentation\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\">\n        <path d=\"M18.007 24.028h-4c-0.368 0-0.667-0.3-0.667-0.667v-9.333c0-0.367 0.299-0.667 0.667-0.667h4c0.368 0 0.667 0.3 0.667 0.667v9.333c0 0.368-0.299 0.667-0.667 0.667zM14.673 22.695h2.667v-8h-2.667v8zM16.007 12.073c-1.475 0-2.675-1.197-2.675-2.675s1.2-2.675 2.675-2.675c1.475 0 2.675 1.197 2.675 2.675s-1.2 2.675-2.675 2.675zM16.007 8.057c-0.74 0-1.341 0.601-1.341 1.341s0.601 1.341 1.341 1.341c0.741 0 1.341-0.601 1.341-1.341s-0.6-1.341-1.341-1.341zM16 32c-8.823 0-16-7.177-16-16s7.177-16 16-16 16 7.177 16 16-7.177 16-16 16zM16 1.333c-8.087 0-14.667 6.583-14.667 14.667 0 8.087 6.58 14.667 14.667 14.667 8.085 0 14.667-6.58 14.667-14.667 0-8.085-6.579-14.667-14.667-14.667z\"><\/path>\n        <\/svg><\/span><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"fws_6a747425607e8\" data-midnight=\"\" data-column-margin=\"default\" class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row inner_row\"  style=\"\"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\"> <div class=\"row-bg\" ><\/div> <\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12_inner col span_12  left\">\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col child_column no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone flex_gap_desktop_10px\"   data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t<p>To meet the increased oxygen demand during exertion, the body increases its respiration. While 5\u20136 l\/min is sufficient at rest, a breathing rate of 12\u201315 l\/min is required for slow walking, and walking uphill at an incline requires 40 l\/min or more. However, many people with COPD can only manage about 20 l\/min. The muscles have sufficient initial support to begin exertion for up to two minutes. After that, however, they depend on an adequate supply of oxygen via the circulatory system. If this supply is insufficient, shortness of breath and, in some cases, the inability to continue exertion will result. Furthermore, the insufficient oxygen supply to the muscles is the cause of structural changes and a feeling of weakness.

At home, you can train your legs and core with squats (Fig. 3).\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t<div id=\"tab-koerperliche-aktivitaet-im-alltag\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-title-koerperliche-aktivitaet-im-alltag\" tabindex=\"0\" data-tab-icon=\"iconsmind-Information\" class=\"wpb_tab ui-tabs-panel wpb_ui-tabs-hide clearfix\"><span class=\"im-icon-wrap tab-icon\"><span><svg role=\"presentation\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\">\n        <path d=\"M18.007 24.028h-4c-0.368 0-0.667-0.3-0.667-0.667v-9.333c0-0.367 0.299-0.667 0.667-0.667h4c0.368 0 0.667 0.3 0.667 0.667v9.333c0 0.368-0.299 0.667-0.667 0.667zM14.673 22.695h2.667v-8h-2.667v8zM16.007 12.073c-1.475 0-2.675-1.197-2.675-2.675s1.2-2.675 2.675-2.675c1.475 0 2.675 1.197 2.675 2.675s-1.2 2.675-2.675 2.675zM16.007 8.057c-0.74 0-1.341 0.601-1.341 1.341s0.601 1.341 1.341 1.341c0.741 0 1.341-0.601 1.341-1.341s-0.6-1.341-1.341-1.341zM16 32c-8.823 0-16-7.177-16-16s7.177-16 16-16 16 7.177 16 16-7.177 16-16 16zM16 1.333c-8.087 0-14.667 6.583-14.667 14.667 0 8.087 6.58 14.667 14.667 14.667 8.085 0 14.667-6.58 14.667-14.667 0-8.085-6.579-14.667-14.667-14.667z\"><\/path>\n        <\/svg><\/span><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"fws_6a74742561e1c\" data-midnight=\"\" data-column-margin=\"default\" class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row inner_row\"  style=\"\"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\"> <div class=\"row-bg\" ><\/div> <\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12_inner col span_12  left\">\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col child_column no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone flex_gap_desktop_10px\"   data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t<p>Many everyday tasks exceed our current capacity: if we complete them at &quot;old pace&quot; or &quot;at our limit,&quot; we often pay the price later (severe shortness of breath). A classic example is climbing stairs. Here, too, a rhythm is recommended, taking breaks as we go (see Figs. 4.1 &amp; 4.2).<\/p>\n<p>Another example is walking uphill. One practical solution is to walk in switchbacks. Pay attention to your breathing rate. You should take no more than four breaths (inhalation and exhalation) within 10 seconds. If you take more, walk more slowly and at a shallower pace until you only need to breathe four times in 10 seconds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"fws_6a74742562c85\"  data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\" data-top-percent=\"5%\" data-bottom-percent=\"5%\"  class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row full-width-section\"  style=\"padding-top: calc(100vw * 0.05); padding-bottom: calc(100vw * 0.05); \"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\" data-bg-animation=\"none\" data-bg-animation-delay=\"\" data-bg-overlay=\"false\"><div class=\"inner-wrap row-bg-layer\" ><div class=\"row-bg viewport-desktop\"  style=\"\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12 col span_12 dark left\">\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone flex_gap_desktop_10px\"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"wpb_gallery wpb_content_element clearfix\">\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_gallery_slidesflickity_static_height_style\" data-onclick=\"link_image\" data-interval=\"5\"><style>.wpb_gallery_slidesflickity_static_height_style .nectar-flickity.instace-6a74742563de5:not(.masonry) .flickity-slider .cell img {\n      height: 500px;\n    }\n    @media only screen and (max-width: 1300px) {\n      .wpb_gallery_slidesflickity_static_height_style .nectar-flickity.instace-6a74742563de5:not(.masonry) .flickity-slider .cell img {\n        height: 400px;\n      }\n    }\n    @media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {\n      .wpb_gallery_slidesflickity_static_height_style .nectar-flickity.instace-6a74742563de5:not(.masonry) .flickity-slider .cell img {\n        height: 350px;\n      }\n    }\n    @media only screen and (max-width: 690px) {\n      .wpb_gallery_slidesflickity_static_height_style .nectar-flickity.instace-6a74742563de5:not(.masonry) .flickity-slider .cell img {\n        height: 300px;\n      }\n    }<\/style><div class=\"nectar-flickity not-initialized instace-6a74742563de5\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"Image gallery\"  data-touch-icon-color=\"default\" data-drag-scale=\"\" data-overflow=\"visible\" data-wrap=\"wrap\" data-spacing=\"10px\" data-shadow=\"none\" data-autoplay=\"\" data-autoplay-dur=\"\" data-free-scroll=\"\" data-controls=\"pagination\"><div class=\"flickity-viewport\"> <div class=\"flickity-slider\"><div class=\"cell\" data-lazy=\"false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha1-deutschland.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lippenbremse-1.jpg\" class=\"skip-lazy nectar-lazy attachment-large\" alt=\"Richtige Anwendung der Lippenbremse\" title=\"Lip pursing\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha1-deutschland.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lippenbremse-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/alpha1-deutschland.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lippenbremse-1-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alpha1-deutschland.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lippenbremse-1-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><a class=\"entire-slide-link\" aria-label=\"Richtige Anwendung der Lippenbremse\"  href=\"https:\/\/alpha1-deutschland.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lippenbremse-1.jpg\"><\/a><\/div><div class=\"cell\" data-lazy=\"false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha1-deutschland.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lippenbremse-2-1.jpg\" class=\"skip-lazy nectar-lazy attachment-large\" alt=\"Lippenbremse mit Strohhalm\" title=\"Lip pursing 2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha1-deutschland.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lippenbremse-2-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/alpha1-deutschland.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lippenbremse-2-1-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alpha1-deutschland.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lippenbremse-2-1-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><a class=\"entire-slide-link\" aria-label=\"Lippenbremse mit Strohhalm\"  href=\"https:\/\/alpha1-deutschland.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lippenbremse-2-1.jpg\"><\/a><\/div><div class=\"cell\" data-lazy=\"false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha1-deutschland.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hochbeuge-1.jpg\" class=\"skip-lazy nectar-lazy attachment-large\" alt=\"Umsetzung der Hochbeuge -
