Abstract:Exercise intolerance is common in patients with chronic respiratory disease (CRD). This chapter provides an overview of best practises in modalities of exercise training as well as the assessment of exercise capacity and supervision/monitoring of exercise during rehabilitation. It reviews the current available research on various types of exercise training available to individuals with chronic respiratory disease including; endurance, resistance and aquatic modalities. The relevant evidence for the implementation of exercise intensity, duration and frequency of such modalities is in line with recent literature and specific guidelines are provided.
