How to exercise chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Exercise methods for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease;

1, functional exercise

The focus of functional exercise is to strengthen the lung function of respiratory system. Cough is the best way to clear respiratory secretions. If sputum cannot be discharged in time, bronchospasm and infection will continue or worsen, so coughing is the most effective means of expectoration. Some patients have shortness of breath and even pain because of coughing, so it is very wrong to try not to cough or cough lightly, or even use drugs to stop coughing. In this case, even the best medicine will not help. So train to cough effectively.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease may lead to limb weakness, emaciation, and physical decline. Patients can do aerobic exercise properly in remission to avoid acute attacks. There is little oxygen in the air in autumn and winter morning, which is not suitable for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease to exercise; From two or three in the afternoon to sunset in the evening, when the oxygen in the air is the strongest, it is more appropriate to walk and bend in the park with fresh air. You can also go to a regular hospital for lung rehabilitation treatment. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can safely enhance your physical fitness and improve your cardiopulmonary function. The recommended exercise methods for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are as follows:

Reading aloud, singing and laughing is also a simple exercise.

Modern medical research has proved that singing and reciting loudly is very beneficial to physical and mental health. Singing or reciting can relieve people's nervousness, make people feel happy and eliminate fatigue. At the same time, singing loudly and reciting can also make the respiratory function get excellent exercise. When people sing or recite loudly, the pectoral muscles and abdominal muscles stretch and contract rhythmically, which increases the range of diaphragm activity and vital capacity, thus improving and promoting the metabolism of respiratory system and enhancing and regulating lung function.
