TREATMENT OF ACUTE EXACERBATIONS OF COPD

Plan of Treatment or Exercise Prescription and Progression

Plan of Treatment or Exercise Prescription and Progression

Principle

In patients with Cancer, disability is primarily a result of anti-cancer treatment with progressive deconditioning. As the disease progresses, limited functional capacity makes exertion unpleasant and leads to an increasingly sedentary lifestyle. Shortness of breath (breathlessness) and exercise intolerance are the most incapacitating symptoms patients develop. A counter-measure to progressive functional decline in patients with cancer is exercise training.
