Abstract
Pulmonary rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary approach to improving individuals' quality of life and functional capacity with chronic respiratory diseases. Functional breathing exercises are essential to pulmonary rehabilitation programs, focusing on coordinating respiratory and postural mechanisms to optimize gas exchange, reduce dyspnea, and improve exercise tolerance. This paper discusses the importance of functional breathing exercises in pulmonary rehabilitation and outlines the fundamental principles and techniques used in their implementation.
Keywords: Pulmonary rehabilitation, Functional breathing, Chronic respiratory diseases, Exercise tolerance, Dyspnea, Gas exchange.
