Chronic obstructive pulmonary emphysema. Is exercise beneficial?

L Ambrus et al. Calif Med. 1967 May.

Abstract

Following a six-week program of training in a series of exercises, a significant number of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary emphysema showed decided improvement in functional activity. Subjective improvement also was noted and kept the patient motivation high. Preliminary observations indicated that the improvement could be maintained long after the end of the training period.
