A prospective study wherein 30 chronic respiratory disease patients fulfilling the inclusion criterion were enrolled and 8 weeks of outpatient structured exercise program was designed,outcome measures 6MWD and CRDQ were assessed at 0, 2nd, 4th and 8th week .

The mean 6MWD increased from 392.80 to 518.24 at the end of program and difference was statistically significant on applying repeat measure ANNOVA(F value=42.030,p=0.00000000054) indicating improvement in exercise performance . All 3 components of CRDQ, except Mastery component showed statistically significant improvement suggestive of improved quality of life.

Abstract


A prospective study wherein 30 chronic respiratory disease patients fulfilling the inclusion criterion were enrolled and 8 weeks of outpatient structured exercise program was designed,outcome measures 6MWD and CRDQ were assessed at 0, 2nd, 4th and 8th week .

The mean 6MWD increased from 392.80 to 518.24 at the end of program and difference was statistically significant on applying repeat measure ANNOVA(F value=42.030,p=0.00000000054) indicating improvement in exercise performance . All 3 components of CRDQ, except Mastery component showed statistically significant improvement suggestive of improved quality of life.
