40 participants in 2 patient groups

Lung Function Prehabilitation

Experimental group

Description:

Participants assigned to the prehabilitation group received personalized exercise prescriptions, including aerobic training, muscle strengthening, and inspiratory muscle training with a threshold device. The prehabilitation program was conducted at the participants' homes for a minimum duration of two weeks. Adherence was monitored through logbook entries and video call evaluations to ensure correct implementation of the prescribed exercises.

Treatment:

Procedure: Lung Function Prehabilitation

Standard of Care

No Intervention group

Description:

No prehabilitation is done, patients in this group received standard of care.
