Abstract

Preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) often suffer from life-long pulmonary impairments in pulmonary physical function. This review summarizes our current understanding of the chronic pulmonary impairments and physical functional limitations associated with BPD from preterm birth to adulthood. It also identifies opportunities for intervention in children and adults living with chronic lung disease (CLD) after preterm birth.

Keywords: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia; Exercise capacity; Exercise training; Physical functional limitations; Pulmonary function testing; Pulmonary rehabilitation; Respiratory constraints.
