Help with pulmonary fibrosis and exercise

[Shraddha]

Exercise prescription for patients with pulmonary fibrosis to improve physical fitness and quality of life. I've read few articals on effect of exercise on these pts, but they don't say much about what was their actual exercise program, in terms of exercise prescription.

Help me if you've got any information on prescribing exercise for these patients.

Thanks
