“…However, it remains to be determined whether treatment for anxiety (medication or supportive psychotherapy) can increase DL PA in asthma patients. Encouragingly, two studies reported that asthma patients participating in a pulmonary rehabilitation program were able to increase their physical activity without exacerbating asthma, and in fact, it significantly improved their quality of life . However, anxiety and depression were not evaluated in those studies.…”

“…Little is known of the effect of PR performed at home in patients with asthma. One small pre‐post study conducted in Poland ( n = 9) examined the effect of an 8‐week home‐based PR intervention of exercise training and breathing exercises (with an integrated supervised centre‐based component), finding that measures of exercise performance, quality of life, anxiety and depression improved, in addition to measures of lung function. The absence of control group data and lack of adjustment for the confounding improvement in lung function during the intervention period limits the validity of these findings.…”

Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a highly effective, established therapy to improve exercise intolerance, impaired quality of life and limb muscle weakness associated with a range of chronic respiratory diseases. The evidence base for PR is largest in the area of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), yet its role in other obstructive lung diseases such as asthma is less well defined. Despite several features being common across both COPD and asthma, factors such as younger age or employment may affect the potential applicability of traditional PR models for patients with asthma. This review examines the current evidence regarding PR for the obstructive lung diseases of COPD and asthma. It offers appraisal of some of the strengths and weaknesses of existing literature, identifies areas in need of future research and details some of the issues facing clinicians responsible for the clinical management and rehabilitation of patients with these diseases.

“…This is the first study evaluating the effects of HBPR on exercise tolerance, peripheral muscle strength, quality of life, dyspnea, pulmonary function, and physical activity in daily life in patients with bronchiectasis. Following the principles of physical training used in HBPR for other chronic pulmonary disesases, 7 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 we included a low-cost activity program that requires little space to be performed and is easy for the participant to understand.…”

“…HBPR could be beneficial for patients who cannot access an outpatient rehabilitation program for any reason. Studies with patients with other pulmonary chronic diseases show that HBPR is useful for improving quality of life, increasing exercise tolerance, and improving dyspnea without serious side effects, 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 but the effects of HBPR have not yet been investigated in patients with bronchiectasis.…”
