This expert review brings together clinical experience and research evidence on physical rehabili-tation for lung transplant candidates and recipients. The evaluation of exercise capacity, muscle function, mobility, activities of daily living and physical activity is discussed. Rehabilitation training guidelines for pre-transplant, acute care, early and late post-trans-plant phases are provided with special attention to complicated and uncomplicated clinical courses. Special populations such as heart-lung transplant and paediatric lung transplant are also included.
