Skeletal muscle dysfunction leads to reduction in activity in patients with COPD. As an
essential part of the management of COPD, pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) alleviates …

As dysfunction of the vascular system is an early, modifiable step in the progression of many
cardiovascular diseases, there is demand for methods to monitor the health of the vascular …

Objective The aim of this study was to compare the short-term clinical effects of 2
telerehabilitation programs, functional versus aerobic exercises (AEs), both combined with …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common pulmonary disease
characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow obstruction. In addition to lung …
