Exercise program for quarry workers with breathing problems
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a program of aerobic and resistance exercises can help male quarry workers who have breathing problems caused by dust. The exercises may improve their lung function and overall fitness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man who works in a quarry
- You are between 30 and 40 years old
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 25 and 29.9
- You have worked in the quarry for 5 to 10 years, 5 to 6 days a week
- You have breathing symptoms like cough, shortness of breath, or wheezing, and your lung tests show some blockage

This study tests whether a community exercise program can improve health in people with heart or lung problems. It may help if you are not already doing regular, structured exercise.
This study tests whether a specialized exercise program can help people with emphysema (a type of COPD) build stronger muscles and feel less weak. The program combines regular aerobic exercise with a technique called blood flow restriction training, which uses a cuff to safely limit blood flow during exercise.
This study tests whether a special treadmill exercise program (combining two types of muscle contractions) helps people with COPD breathe better and exercise longer. You would come to the lab multiple times per week to do supervised workouts on a treadmill.
This study looks at how well people with IPF can exercise and how strong their breathing muscles are. It helps doctors understand the effects of IPF on daily activity.
This study tests whether doing breathing exercises and aerobic exercise at home can improve lung function in people who smoke or used to smoke. Researchers want to see if this home-based program helps protect lung health and reduces breathing problems.
This trial tests whether a special exercise program can help repair lung tissue in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It aims to find new ways to improve lung health and quality of life.
