What this trial is about
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if community-based exercise training can benefit patients aged 18 to 85 with diminished cardiovascular and pulmonary function. The main aim of this study is: • Establish a community or home-based fitness training program for patients with cardiopulmonary insufficiency to improve adherence, safety, and efficacy while alleviating the burden on both patients and society. Researchers will compare community-based exercise training to non-exercise training to see if community-based exercise training works to improve cardiovascular and pulmonary function. Participants will: * Engage in community or home exercise training for 40-60 minutes, five times weekly, during a duration of eight weeks. Exercise modalities are primarily determined by the patients' individual preferences and habits, such as brisk walking, running, swimming, cycling, and hiking. * Adjust the exercise intensity according to their cardiopulmonary exercise test and the person's perceived exertion level. * Utilize fitness bracelets or watches to document statistics during workouts and submit them to the experimenter weekly, covering the five days of exercise within that week. * refrain from making any dietary modifications throughout the trial.
Who can take part
Inclusion criteria
- Patients aged 18 to 85 with abnormal pulmonary or cardiovascular function.
- Individuals who have completed a medical screening form to confirm they are free from illnesses and prescription medications that could impair their ability to complete the required testing and fitness training.
- Participants who did not engage in structured, systematic moderate-to-intense strength or endurance training during the study period (specifically, not within the previous year).
- At the onset of the trial, participants were physically active but had never participated in formal exercise more than twice a week.
Exclusion criteria
- Patients with neuromuscular or skeletal disorders, or systemic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, or heart disease.
- Individuals using medications known to affect health or the interpretation of study results.
- Participants who have engaged in organized, systematic endurance or strength training of moderate to high intensity within the past year.
- Patients who decline to participate in the study.
- Other medical conditions or states that render exercise training inappropriate.
