Funded Activity Summary

The interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are characterised by shortness of breath, progressive deterioration in exercise tolerance, poor quality of life and reduced life expectancy. Exercise training (ET) is one of few treatments to improve symptoms and QoL in ILD. However the response to ET was variable and dependent on disease type and severity. The aim of this study is to establish the effect of ET in ILD and to identify whether there is optimal timing for maximal benefit to be obtained.
