Home exercise program for Veterans exposed to burn pits
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a home-based exercise program (done via video calls) can help Veterans who were exposed to burn pits during deployment. It aims to improve lung health and overall fitness while being safe and convenient.
