| Core Tip |
Lung transplantation (LTx) improves survival in end-stage lung disease, yet many recipients experience persistent exercise intolerance despite adequate graft function. This review highlights pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) as a safe and effective intervention throughout LTx care. PR programs, typically combining aerobic and resistance training with education, are associated with minimal adverse events. Evidence demonstrates improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular fitness, and quality of life, while changes in lung function are modest. These benefits are driven by peripheral physiological adaptations, including enhanced muscle oxidative capacity and neuromuscular efficiency. PR represents a fundamental strategy to optimize functional recovery in LTx recipients. |
