4) Stationary bicycles

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pulmonary rehabilitation programs aim to improve the physical condition and lung function of individuals with respiratory issues. The minimum equipment includes inspiratory resistive breathing devices to strengthen respiratory muscles, rowing machines or upper extremity ergometers and stationary bicycles for cardiovascular and muscular endurance, and pulse oximeters to monitor oxygen saturation and pulse rate during exercises.
