Overview
It is widely described in the literature that exercise training improves patients' exercise tolerance, quality of life, symptoms, anxiety and depression, regardless of the location. Despite overwhelming evidence of the benefits of exercise training, only a very small percentage of eligible people have ever completed a program. Alternative modes of exercise training are needed to improve equity of access for patients with chronic respiratory disease. So TeleRehabilitation, using information and communication technologies to provide distance exercise training services, may be an answer.
