This study tests if a telephone-based physical activity coach helps older adults (65+) recover better after lung cancer surgery compared to self-monitored activity. Caregivers can also join to learn how to support their loved one and improve their own well-being.
This study compares two types of exercise programs (aerobic walking/cycling and high-intensity interval training) for people with interstitial lung disease who are waiting for a lung transplant. The goal is to see which type of exercise helps improve daily function and quality of life.
This study looks at how an exercise program affects fitness and lung function in young people who are survivors of certain conditions (heart transplant, leukemia, or lung disease from prematurity). The goal is to see whether exercise can improve breathing and overall physical function safely.
This study uses a treadmill or stationary bike test to measure how well your heart and lungs work after a heart transplant. It may help researchers see whether this type of testing is safe and useful in transplant follow-up.
