Aerobic Training
Conventional Treatment
Progressive breathing training exercises for a period of 4 weeks, for 15 minutes twice daily. As patients progressed to the seated posture, the controlled pause technique (exercise) will be introduced. 4 times a day followed by a sustained period of breathing control. In addition to this Aerobic Training (cycling, treadmill) will also be practiced for 30 minutes constituting 5 days/ week. Initial training would avoid upright position. Mild-to-moderate-intensity endurance training, progressing from semi-recumbent to upright position plus strength training will be practiced.
Progressive breathing retraining exercises for a period of 4 weeks, for 15 minutes twice daily. As patients progressed to the seated posture, the controlled pause technique (exercise) will be introduced. 4 times a day followed by a sustained period of breathing control.
